The Fort St. James Second-ary School fi elds were overrun with more than 700 youth soccer players from Fort St. James, Van-derhoof, Burns Lake and Fraser Lake on May 23 during the Fort St. James Youth soccer tournament for 5 to 10-year-olds.

Dave Birdi, Fort St. James Youth Soccer, said, “The club be-lieves every player deserves the best possible soccer experience. Whether the kids dream of playing

for Canada’s National Teams or simply want to have fun with their friends, taking the right approach to the game when children are young sets the stage for a lifetime of enjoyment.

“Next up is the Divisional Tour-nament held in Vanderhoof, June 20 where players between 11-18 years-old will be competing, Birdi said.

“(In Vanderhoof) the level of the competition is taken one step higher with more focus on strategy and tactics, and winning top places for trophies.”

Fort St. James will be among some of the fi rst communities in B.C., to take part in the commu-nity paramedicine program which is being introduced by BC Emer-gency Health Services (BCEHS).

Preet Grewa, BCEHS, said in a news release, “Under the program, paramedics will provide primary care services (within their scope of practice) to increase access to basic health care services in non-urgent settings, in partnership with local health care providers.”

She added, “The enhanced role is not intended to replace any care provided by health professionals, like nurses, but rather, comple-ments and supports the work that these important professionals do each day.”

Paramedicine, combines the

roles and responsibilities of in-dividuals previously trained and credentialed in various levels of Emergency Medical Technician (EMTs) practice.

“By phasing in community paramedicine, we are developing an integrated approach to patient care to best suit the unique needs of each community population,” said Health Minister Terry Lake. “We know that health-care provid-ers in rural and remote areas may face challenges and we value their guidance in how we can best en-gage local paramedics to address gaps in service.”

The program is being phased into effect in the province with In-terior communities announced in June 2015, followed by Vancou-ver Island communities later in the summer. Phase Two, will take into account areas for improving the program and is projected to begin

by January 2016. Phase Three will expand into additional communi-ties with the potential integration of paramedics into clinics and oth-er facilities in 2017 as well.

“BC’s paramedics are highly trained medical professionals, who are well suited for this new role in community health,” said Bronwyn Barter, president of the Ambulance Paramedics of BC (CUPE 873). “With the community paramedi-cine program will come better pa-tient care and new full-time career opportunities across the province.”

Grewal said the community paramedicine program should know by the fall of 2015 what gaps in service will need to be fi lled.

“Unit chiefs in each community are working with their healthcare partners to determine gaps in ser-vice and ways that paramedics can use their skills to fi ll those gaps,” sheèù wdGrewal said.

A motor vehicle accident involving a 44-year-old man from Fort St. James resulted in lane closures along highway 27 Monday, June 1.

The man was trans-ported to University Hospital in Prince George from St. Johns Hospital in Vanderhoof, where as of Monday morning he remains in stable condition with serious injuries.

“It appears he was thrown from the ve-hicle and also appears alcohol was involved,” Commander Svend Nielsen said, adding the majority of the man’s injuries are in his torso.

The accident oc-curred around 11:30 p.m., Sunday, May 31 about one kilometre south of Barlow Road.

The highway was closed until 9 a.m. Monday morning to keep both lanes clear for Constable Dimag-gio, traffi c analysis in-

spector, to do his job safely, Nielsen said.

More details will

be reported as they are made available to the Courier.

Apprentices required for public construction

BY TOM FLETCHERBlack Press

It’s not a fi rm quota, but construction unions have won a commitment from the B.C. government to require apprentices to be hired for public projects worth more than $15 million.

Jobs Minister Shirley Bond announced the new requirement Tuesday, and it takes effect July 1. Construction fi rms bidding on major projects such as schools, hospi-tals, roads or bridges will have to include their plans to hire apprentices.

Construction unions have pushed for the change, arguing that a lack of ap-prentices on public jobs is an obvious gap in the government’s skills training plan. B.C. Building Trades executive director Tom Sigurdson said he is pleased with the agreement, and will give it a year to work before deciding if it goes far enough.

Bond said the coming year could see as many as 15 major projects that would qualify. She agreed with Sigurdson that many apprentices don’t complete their training because they can’t fi nd a job placement between stints in trade school.

Bond said subcontracts worth $500,000 or more, with a focus on one of the 57 Red Seal trades, will also require an apprenticeship component. In her dis-cussions with employers, she said they are looking to increase apprenticeships as baby boom trades people begin to retire in large numbers.

Houle Electric president Robert Lash-in said the government has struck the right balance. “By having a policy like this, government is setting a standard but is not being prescriptive,” he said.

NDP jobs critic Shane Simpson said his party has called for apprentice op-portunities on publicly funded projects for years, but the government needs to go further.

“In the public service, including mu-nicipalities, schools, universities, health care, there are only 300 apprentices in the whole province, and about half of them are with BC Hydro,” Simpson said.

B.C. Federation of Labour president Irene Lanzinger said “aspirational goals are not enough,” and the province should require one of four employees on major projects be apprentices.

Have you ever driven past a clear cut area and wondered, why? I have often looked at the

scarred land and thought about all those trees just - gone.

When I saw all the white trucks, and people in town start-ed mentioning the tree planters had arrived, I saw an opportunity

to fi nd out about those clear cuts.I managed to get permission

to head out with Shawn Mc-Grath, project supervisor with Apex Reforestation Ltd., and my opportunity to answer some of those questions; to fi nd out what the mystery behind the secret society of tree planters was all about.

My morning alarm rang just a little bit earlier this past Thurs-day - 4:30 a.m. - instead of my regimented 5:30 a.m.

I was more than prepared for the early morning, I have done my fair share of 3 a.m. wake up calls while working a stint at a ranch in the Chilcotin cooking and packing lunches for explora-tion crews.

I had no idea what I was in for, I packed my lunch, and I had my camera bag and my pack with the essentials: fi rst aid, TP, bug dope, jacket, hat and gloves and the most essential item - water.

I might have over-prepared; I didn’t want anyone to think this Northern girl was a newbie at trudging around in the bush.

I was ready and out the door at 5:39 a.m., and sitting outside McGrath’s motel room door be-ing greeted by a number of tree planters preparing to start their day.

Nikolas Smithers has been planting trees for four years and is a crew manager that is responsible for up to 18 crew members depending on the number of people on staff planting. He said a tree goes into the ground approximately every ten seconds.

Trees, safety and digital mapsBefore we sit down for a coffee and

go over some safety procedures and pa-perwork, required for me to be out on the blocks, McGrath takes me over to the reefer, a refrigerated semi-trailer unit that keeps the trees between 2-5 degrees while being stored prior to planting.

A couple of crews are loading up the work trucks with boxes of trees that will be the days planting. McGrath says the 74 crew members currently working will plant more than 100,000 trees a day.

The 26-year-old McGrath is a great choice for showing me the work site, he’s been with Apex for seven years, starting

as a planter, then a crew manager and now two years in his current position as project manager. He says the biggest portion of the crew are planting as a way to help pay for their university or college tuition.

“I started the summer I was 19,” he said. “I started my second year at college, one of my friends convinced a big group of us guys to come out here.”

Once we have coffee and go over the safety particulars for being out on site we head out to Leo Creek to the fi rst block on McGrath’s rounds. He tells me he tries to visit each block daily to check with crews to make sure everything is going well and the product being planted gets a quality check.

As we drive out toward Tachie, Mc-Grath shows me how the trucks are equipped with georeferenced maps which display the blocks on a tablet and make the job of getting out to areas a lot easier and cut down on crews getting lost, which cuts into planting time he added.

“At some point when we get close enough we’ll show up as a blue dot on the map,” McGrath said.

We turn off onto the Leo Creek Forest-ry Service Road (FSR) and start the drive up to the fi rst block and I get the feeling my kidneys are in for a good workout.

McGrath’s day sometimes gets sidetracked with situations such as this crew truck which got stuck in a boggy area. Most of the roads the crews use out to the blocks were created as winter roads to be used by logging trucks.

Getting a good start. This little seedling has the perfect home in the slash and has the potential to be productive in approximately ten years time.

Soil is important when the seedlings are being planted, moist peaty soil is good for the trees to start in.


It’s important to make sure the trees are going into the ground within the right ranges to ensure optimal growth. McGrath shows where seedlings should be planted to at the stem-root base.

On the planting blocks the blackfl ies are out in full force. Out here a cool breeze is a wel-come break and it pays to keep up a fast pace out in the slash, and not just to keep the bugs off.

A lot of the clearing has been done to stave off the Mountain Pine Beetle (MPB) infestation that has been ongoing since the 1990s.

The MPB has destroyed ap-proximately 50 per cent of the total volume of lodgepole pine in British Columbia which con-tinues to spread its geographic range.

Some of the fi bre will be sent to the mill to be made into as much useable lumber as possible, some will be sent to be made into bio-energy or wood pellets; what remains will be burned to aide in regrowth of the forest area.

Crews are planting three spe-cies of seedlings on the block ar-eas, lodgepole pine, blue spruce and balsam. Each species has specifi c requirements such as

spacing and depth said Shawn McGrath, project supervisor with Apex Reforestation Ltd.

“That’s been the focus for a little while now,” he said. “That will probably come to an end in the next couple years.”

Just starting outHe said when he fi rst started

tree-planting the trees were just turning orange and he was part of a couple test projects to try and combat the pest.

“They were trying to – back then – just leave the stand if it wasn’t usable fi ber and we would go and plant in the stands,” Mc-Grath said. “They had rabbit traps everywhere … apparently (rabbits) would bite (seedlings) off. That was part of the reason that method wasn’t working.”

There are approximately 1,350 seedlings planted in a hect-are McGrath said, adding that number varies based on terrain and available soil becuase much of the ground cover is deep moss.

McGrath said the employer is looking for a certain depth for

the seedlings and a Canfor for-ester comes out daily to check on the quality of the work that the planters are doing in addition to his checks.

“When I check, I come along and make sure the laterals aren’t buried,” he said. “And I make sure the holes are closed to en-sure a vapour seal.”

Different species are planted at different ratios and different elevations based on variable such as diseases that might affect the seedlings, he said.

McGrath takes BOT measure-ments to ensure the distance be-tween specifi c areas meets the ratios set out by the employer.

The measurement is important as well as the depth to make sure the seedlings are in an optimum growth environment he added.

“It’s a measured radius that we count the trees within it,” he said. “It’s good so far what I’ve seen.”

Looking at the tiny seedlings just starting out it’s impossible for me to look at clear-cut areas in the same way ever again.

Daniel Crook is an exceptional student: not only do his marks refl ect work that usually exceeds the curricular expectations, Daniel also manages to put his individual “spin” on his assignments, making them engaging to read and evaluate. I found him a powerful student to have in the classroom – the level of thought he put into the lessons I gave was evident in each product he created, presenting his learning a way that honoured his learning style, and was often a different way than I had previously seen. That’s inspiring for a teacher. - Ms. G. Vogelsang.

Little green thumbs


Dirty hands were abundant at the ‘Uloo Khoh parenting program on May 28.

Parents and family came out to en-gage children in learning about plant-ing, “seeing the fruits of their labour”

and learning about healthy eating. Children of all ages got a chance

to try out their green thumbs plant-ing some seedlings in the plot at the Nak’azdli Social Development Cen-tre.

Families who were interested also got to take home a My Little Box of Gardening kit as an added bonus.


The one thing you hear from the tree plant-ing crew when you ask, is how much they like the job.

There are few that come out to work the blocks that won’t be back again next year.

It’s not just the pay that keeps them com-ing back though. Rich-ard Hanson, in his sixth season planting, said the reasons amount to more than just getting paid.

“Every year I tell myself I’m never go-ing to come back, and then I end up coming

back,” he said. “Usually before the

season I’ll meet up with a bunch of the guys, I’ll have a couple drinks and end up saying I’ll come back out.”

Even the bugs aren’t enough to kill the spirit out on the blocks. Ev-elyn Martin was one of the unfortunate that had

a reaction to the bites and still went on to fi n-ish her day not even wanting to take Bene-

dryl to ease the reaction. “No thanks,” she

said. “It’ll just make me sleepy.

MoM, the music fes-tival commonly known as Music on the Moun-tain, is getting a new venue and likely a new moniker for its acro-nymic name once the music festival moves off the mountain.

The 80 acre rodeo grounds are slated to be the new home to the three day festival that takes place in August.

Lionel Conant, pres-ident of the MoM Fes-tival, said the grounds site will offer an op-portunity for the festival to grow and be a space where festival goers of all ages will have more venues available due to the increased space.

The grounds, now owned and used by the Fort St. James Snow-mobile Club, haven’t been used for its origi-nal purpose as a rodeo grounds in more than fi ve years said Conant. Right now the space is

being used as a make-shift camp for seasonal tree planting crews that come to the Fort every spring.

Conant said having the space will allow MoM to have a perma-nent stage and a beer garden for the fi rst time in the festival’s history.

“MoM’s never had a beer garden before,” he said. “We’re hoping the new liquor laws should allow us to do that in here … this way we can contain it and keep peo-ple from coming and going with booze.”

There are a number of outbuildings that can

be used for workshops and vendors around the site, Conant said the en-tire site will be used in-teractively for a variety of activities and create a family friendly place for this year’s festival.

“There’s all this parking for RV’s, for our local people that

like to come early and lots of room for tenting in those outbuildings,: he said. “Another ad-vantage out here is there are outhouses.”

With the bigger ven-ue, Conant said there will be a push on to re-cruit more volunteers, he added the open site area and the proxim-ity to town will make it easier for volunteers to access and help out on a more fl exible schedule.

“We’re going to need more (volunteers) for sure,” he said. “We count on our volunteers every year and we will count on them even more this year.”

He said though the years at the ski hill have been great and the use of the site at Murray Ridge has been a good run the past fi ve years, the closeness to town will make shuttles a lot more effi cient and will allow better access for people who don’t have a vehicle. “It’s closer to town to get to,” he said.

“We can run a shuttle a lot easier and it’s within the taxi’s range.”

With more than 600 festival goers, art-ists and crew last year Conant said the festival had almost outgrown the Murray Ridge site,

he added the festival hopes to grow that num-ber to 1,000 attendees this year which was a large part of changing the venue to the old ro-deo grounds site.

“It’s time to make this move.”

Music on the Mountain (MoM) might be moving to lower elevations but its raising the bar for the three-day event that happens in August. Lionel Conant, president of MoM Festival said the many outbuildings will be utilised for workshops and as areas for vendors to set up at the new site on the old rodeo grounds.

Conant said MoM is looking forward to having a permanent stage and still having the comforts the former site at Murray Ridge provided for the festival and the artists for the past five years.

Aboriginal and northern community health associated with the construction and operation of Mount Milligan mine in Fort St. James, British Columbia were discussed at the District Council meeting May 27.


Kandace Kerr, Research Co-ordinator, Geography Depart-ment, University of Victoria, went before Council May 27 to discuss the results of the “Com-munity Health and Safety in the Nak’al Bun/Stuart Lake Region During the Construction Phase of the Mount Mil-ligan Mine” report which was released in December 2014.

The Fort St James Sustainability Group reports on the im-pacts on Aboriginal and northern community health associated with the construction and operation of Mount Milligan mine in Fort St. James, British Columbia in partnership with the Nak’azdli and Tl’azt’en First Na-tions and the municipality of Fort St. James.

Kerr discussed loss of access to traditional lands, infl ux of workers, local employment and income and education and train-

ing, the four key fi ndings that oc-curred during construction of the mine.

“We did a baseline in 2012, which was our snapshot of what the area was like at pre-construc-tion,” she said. “In December 2014 we fi nished the construc-

tion phase report.”Some of the di-

rect impacts on the community that were found Kerr said, were factors such as: An increase in industrial traffi c and the consequent increase in environ-mental pollution; the migration of work-ers and their impact

on medical resources through WSBC visits; and the impact those workers had on the hous-ing market.

“The other challenge we looked at were loss of access to housing and increased rents,” she said. “This really impacted the recruitment of health profes-sionals because it was very chal-lenging to try and recruit health professionals for the community

when we didn’t have housing for them.”

An increase in crime specifi c to Fort St. James was also noted over the construction phase Kerr added, “We used RCMP stats over the construction phase. In 2011 we had a 48 per cent in-crease in assaults with a weapon, we had a 38 per cent increase in sexual assaults and we had 37 per cent increase in missing people reports and a 50 per cent increase in aggravated assaults.”

She added there were positive benefi ts to the construction phase such as education and training for residents and said the report is available online for viewing at: http://bchealthycommunities.ca/res/download.php?id=1819.

“This is described in much more detail in the report.”

Kerr said there is also a report released looking at the health risks and opportunities, created for the Tl’azt’en Nation.

“It fi nds some similar things to our construction phase report, but (the report) is a little bit more detailed … and brings up some issues that are more specifi c to their community.”

Council BRIEFS


The Village of Cache Creek, which sits at the junction of Highway 97 and Highway 1, experi-enced a heavy rainfall May 23, causing water-ways to divert and wash debris from surround-ing hills down into the village. Debris from the fl ood caused the clo-sure of Highways 1 and 97 at that time and the highways were down to single lane alternating traffi c while road crews

repair ditching 6 km north of Junction with Highway 1, at Cache Creek to 10 km north of Junction with Highway 1, at Cache Creek (4 km), until May 28. The village was set to a state of emergency on May 24 by Village offi cials and an evacuation alert and order were issued for four separate areas within the Village.

Several homes were damaged in the fl ood and currently there are fundraisers in place to raise money to as-

Jamie Mcdonald takes top award photo courtesy of Speed Skating Canada

The Canadian women’s 3000m relay team concluded the short track speed skating competition by coming up with a bronze medal, Friday, at the 2015 Winter Universiade held in Granada, Spain. The Canadian team, comprised of Joanie Gervais (Saguenay, QC), Namasthée Harris-Gauthier (Montreal, borough Rosemont - La Petite-Patrie, QC), Keri Mor-rison (Burlington, Ont.) and Caroline Truchon (Saguenay, QC) (alternate: Jamie MacDonald, Fort St. James, B.C.)


The Fort’s Jamie Macdonald took home the Top Female Short Track Skater award this past weekend at the BC Speed Skating Associations AGM.

Keith Gordon said, “Macdonald had her best year of skating fi nishing as the 7th ranked female short tracker in the country.”

He added Macdonald will remain as a Speed Skate Canada carded athlete on the Development Team. Gordon also said Mcdonald is the highest ranked non-Quebecer on the list.

Madonald is the second short-track speed-skater from Fort St. James to receive a top speed skater award. Michael Friesen received that honour in 2006.

Gordon said the Nechako Lakes Clippers in Vanderhoof also received several honours. Alison Desmarais won the skater bursary, Coach Nicole Ebert was named Grass Roots Coach of the Year and the club won the Good News Award for the club’s summary of the its achievements in its 10 years of operation in Vanderhoof.
