Mayor’s ReportMayor’s ReportMayor’s ReportMayor’s Report

L ast week was Municipal Awareness

Week, this is a time to create an aware-

ness of local government. This year I spent

time at the school talking to kids about local

governance, and how our council works. The

classes prepared themselves for this visit by

checking out our website and asking many

good questions. I would like to remind every-

one that this is election year and time for

you to think about putting your name on the

ballot.

Councilor Johnson, Johansson and I attended

the NCLGA Conference in Prince Rupert. The

theme of the conference was “A Rainbow of

Opportunities”. This theme alluded to the

growing opportunities available in northern

BC. These conferences offer a good variety

of seminars focusing on the small communi-

ties.

I wish I could tell you that our meeting with

Northern Health was productive. There are

so many issues that Northern Health is deal-

ing with that our struggle does not seem to

be a priority. I did get a promise that the

new physician recruiting team will visit Hud-

son’s Hope the first week in June. I will be

contacting all the resource companies that

are working in the area to write letters of

support in our effort to find a doctor.

Congratulations to the Graduation Class of

2011. Graduation is a time of completion, of

finishing, and of an ending, however, it is

also a time of celebration of achievement

and a beginning. You have been schooled in

a very caring and loving community. The

skills you graduate with, whether they be

academic or social, will help you succeed in

life. On behalf of the Council and District I

wish you all the success in any endeavor you

may choose.

Canadian Kailun Dehua are still working to

secure permits and agreements to go ahead

with the purposed coal mine. Council has

had meetings with this group and they are

working diligently to see the realization of

this project.

The Bulletin 2 June 2011

There are many activities this month in the

community to enjoy: the ball tournament,

fishing derby, and the start of Heritage Days.

Graduation ceremonies are open to the pub-

lic. I have been to many graduations over the

years and there is such a great outpouring of

community spirit, nowhere else would you

find such a heartwarming event.

Till next month, take time to see the splen-

dor of our community.

WATER RESTRICTIONS

T he District of Hudson’s Hope has re-

quested that as the river level is very

low that residents refrain from watering until

further notice. We are currently not drawing

off the river at all because of high turbidity

and are drawing exclusively off the springs.

With only the springs on line we are running

at about 40% capacity and will remain to do

so until the river clears as we do not want to

contaminate our distribution system with the

muddy river water.

Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.

Hudson’s Hope Visitor CentreHudson’s Hope Visitor CentreHudson’s Hope Visitor CentreHudson’s Hope Visitor Centre

At the Visitor Centre we are well under way into this season of tour-

ism. As well as welcoming those visitors from the region for the day

or the long distance travelers, we would like to invite you as well to

drop into this visitor centre so we can support your travel plans,

whether they are near or far. We have maps of Hudson’s Hope area

( scale of 1 : 250 000) for $5.00 and the Official BC Road Map & Parks

Guide for $3.95 . Also of no charge we have the Alberta, Saskatche-

wan & Manitoba Road Maps. Complimentary copies of the BC Ap-

proved Accommodation Guide which covers camping, B & B’s, hotels

and motels. It is a valuable resource when travelling in the province.

This year marks the 100th

anniversary of BC Parks. The BC Parks 100

Passport Program has been developed as a way to celebrate this oc-

casion. Visitors are encouraged to visit participating locations fea-

tured in the passport and collect stickers from each location. You

know what that means. Prizes. You may pick up your BC Parks Pass-

port at this visitor centre and you are set for the summer as you

Hudson’s Hope Visitor Centre Staff - Kathy Burseth, Al Worrall and Nathaniel Rutherford

The Hudson’s Hope Health Centre and grounds, like the proper-

ties of all health care facilities across the Northern Health re-

gion, have been smoke-free areas since 2008.

As a health care organization, we have to lead by example. We

want to give our patients and health professionals a healthy

environment at our facilities. NH’s Smoke Free Grounds Policy prohibits tobacco use in or on

all NH owned or operated facilities and grounds

The Policy covers all people on Northern Health property – from NH staff (including medical

staff), patients, visitors, and volunteers… to students, contractors and people providing ser-

vices to NH or acting on Northern Health’s behalf.

Along with ensuring a healthy environment for patients and staff, the Smoke-Free Grounds

policy is also aimed at reducing the amount of smoking-related litter on and near NH facilities

and, during the drier summer months, preventing fires caused by carelessly discarded smok-

ing materials.

Northern Health has supports and services to help you quit smoking.

Visit www.northernhealth.ca, or www.quitnow.ca, or call the Quit now helpline toll-free at

1-877-455-2233.

In an effort to keep you informed about the Site C Clean Energy Project (Site C), we are writing

to advise you that BC Hydro has submitted a Project Description Report to federal and provin-

cial environmental assessment agencies. The filing of a project description is the first step to

initiate an environmental assessment for Site C. A formal regulatory process will begin once the

report has been reviewed and accepted by the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office and the

Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency.

To view the project description report and other information materials, please visit the Site C

project website at www.bchydro.com/sitec.

NOTICE OF WORK FOR RESIDENTS: GEOTECHNICAL DRILLING AND HELICOPTER FLIGHTS

As part of the field studies underway for the Site C Clean Energy Project (Site C), BC Hydro has initiated geotechnical investigations along the proposed reservoir slopes. The study area in-cludes the north bank of the proposed reservoir from downstream of Peace Canyon to between Wilder and Tea Creek, and sites on the south bank opposite the area between Lynx Creek and Bear Flat.

Starting the week of May 24, and through September, drilling will be part of the ongoing geo-technical investigations. Drill hole locations have been selected and the permissions have been obtained.

This notice is to inform you that drilling will typically occur 10 to 12 hours a day, 6 days a week on the north bank, and up to 24 hours a day and 7 days a week on the south bank at Attachie, across from Bear Flat, and across from Farrell and Lynx Creeks. At this rate, drilling on the north bank is anticipated to take up to one week at each site, and south bank locations will take be-tween one and two weeks at each site. BC Hydro has worked to minimize disturbance during the evening drilling in selecting appropriate locations, and additional measures to minimize noise and light will be taken as required.

Helicopters will support these investigations as a more efficient, safe and environmentally re-sponsible alternative to constructing access roads on the south bank. It is anticipated that through September, helicopters will be used approximately one to two hours per day to transport personnel, supplies and a heli-portable drill. For up to two days at each location, during set-up and dismantling of the south bank drilling platforms, flights may take place all day between 8:00am and 7:00pm.

More information is available at www.bchydro.com/sitec and in the Community Consultation Offices.

FISH AND WILDLIFE COMPENSATION PROGRAM

News Release - May 16, 2011

Fish and Wildlife Compensation Program to provide another $7 million for Conservation and

Restoration in 2011

The Fish and Wildlife Compensation Program (FWCP) provided more than $7 million in funding

in 2010 to nearly 65 projects and is looking to do the same in 2011. The program focuses on

projects developed to conserve and enhance fish, wildlife and their supporting habitats af-

fected by the creation of BC Hydro owned and operated generation facilities in the Coastal,

Columbia and Peace regions of British Columbia.

“The FWCP is delivered through a joint partnership of BC Hydro, the Province of British Colum-

bia and Fisheries and Oceans Canada,” says Kevin Conlin, Compliance and Compensation Man-

ager at BC Hydro who works closely on the FWCP. “The program provides strategic funding

that supports important restoration work that focuses on impacted species and their habitats.”

FWCP PROJECTS HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE PEACE REGION - $700,000 in project funding in 2010

• Dinosaur Reservoir Habitat Enhancement - 82 large woody debris structures have been

constructed by FWCP staff in the Dinosaur Reservoir and were GIS mapped in the summer

of 2010.

• Small Lake Stocking and Evaluations - Seven small lakes in the Peace region were stocked

with rainbow and brook trout.

• Mackenzie Migratory Bird Monitoring - 2010 marked the 16th year the FWCP supported

the neotropical migratory songbird. Coordinated by the Mackenzie Nature Observatory,

volunteers from many parts of B.C. donated over 1200 hours of their time to monitor the

activities of the birds.

Protective Services

A Message from the Protective Services Department....

I would like to start by saying a big Thank you to all of the members of the community who

have worked so hard to make the first part of this year a really safe time. I would also like to

thank all of the Firefighters who keep coming out every week to practice to keep their skills

sharp and being ready to respond 24/7.

We are hoping to breathe new life into the Emergency Social Services group here in Hudson’s

Hope. This group sets up reception centers for evacuees and make sure that they are taken

care of for time immediately after a disaster. We meet once a month for about an hour. The

time commitment beyond that is up to you. Being involved in this group, you would be in-

volved in any deployment in Hudson’s Hope, but you also have the opportunity to be deployed

throughout BC with the Provincial Emergency Program if you want. This group is a lot of fun

and can be extremely fulfilling during a deployment. If you are interested in serving your com-

munity in this very special way, please contact me at the District Office or at

[email protected].

We have all watched in stunned amazement at the destruction in Slave Lake Alberta when a

wildfire roared into town. The destruction in the community was huge and widespread. The

community and those around it will surely feel the effects of this disaster for many years to

come. This disaster makes us focus on what the vulnerabilities in our community are. We are

continuing to work on the Pine Beetle problem around the residential areas of the community

and are hopeful the $24 million announced by the Province for Fire Fuel Treatment, will be

made available soon to help offset the costs of this project.

Also, look for Guest articles in the Northeast news every month about being prepared for

Emergencies from emergency professionals around the region. There is a lot of information

available on the Peace River Regional District Website at www.prrd.bc.ca under “Emergency

Services – Get Prepared”.

Have a great summer and remember that thinking about safety a little will prevent having to

think about an emergency a lot.

Stay Safe,

Chief Alan Stebbing,

Hudson’s Hope Protective Services Department – “Our Family Protecting Yours”

The Protective Services Department consists of the Districts Volunteer Fire & Rescue Service,

Emergency Social Services and Bylaw Enforcement personnel. This is a group of dedicated and

professional volunteers who take time out of their personal lives to help out their community. If

you have questions about getting involved, please contact Alan Stebbing at 250-783-9901 or

Remember to Slow Down Remember to Slow Down Remember to Slow Down Remember to Slow Down

and Pull Over!and Pull Over!and Pull Over!and Pull Over!

W e would like to remind Drivers about

BC’s laws regarding Emergency Vehi-

cles.

When being approached by an Emergency

Vehicle (Police, Fire, or Ambulance with it’s

lights and/or sirens on) you must pull over as

close to the curb as possible and stop. If you

are in an intersection, clear the intersection

and then pull over and stop.

When passing an Emergency Vehicle that has

stopped on the side of the road with it’s

emergency lights on you must:

◊ Slow to 70 km/h if the posted speed limit

is 80 km/h or more

◊ Slow to 40 km/h if the posted speed limit

is under 80 km/h

◊ If there is another lane travelling in the

same direction, you must move into the

lane away from the emergency vehicles,

if it is safe to do so.

This law was brought in to protect BC’s

Emergency Services workers. Statistics show

that working on a highway is one of the most

dangerous things that any Police Officer,

Firefighter, or Paramedic does.

If you fail to slow down and pull over, you

could face a fine up to $173 and 3 penalty

points on your license. There can also be

additional consequences if you injure or kill

an Emergency Services worker.

Stay Safe,

Chief Stebbing

on behalf of all of Hudson’s Hope Emergency

Services.

INFORMATION BULLETIN

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

May 18, 2011

SITE C PROJECT MOVING TO ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT PROCESS

Project Description Report Submitted to Environmental Assessment Agencies

FORT ST. JOHN – BC Hydro has submitted a project description report for the Site C Clean Energy Project (Site C) to federal and

provincial environmental assessment agencies. The filing of a project description is the first step to initiate an environmental as-

sessment for Site C. A formal regulatory process will begin once the report has been reviewed and accepted by the B.C. Environ-

mental Assessment Office and the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency.

The environmental assessment process for Site C will be thorough and independent. It will include opportunities for consulta-

tion and input by the public, Aboriginal groups, communities, property owners and stakeholders. During the review, BC Hydro will

identify and assess potential project effects — environmental, economic, social, heritage and health — and opportunities to pro-

vide lasting benefits for the region and First Nations. Where effects cannot be avoided, BC Hydro will identify and evaluate options

for mitigation.

BC Hydro is proposing to construct Site C to help meet future electricity needs in the province. B.C. is growing and so is our

demand for electricity. BC Hydro forecasts that the province’s electricity needs will grow by approximately 40 per cent over the

next 20 years. New sources of clean, reliable and cost-effective electricity will be required.

The Site C project would provide up to 1,100 megawatts of capacity, and produce about 5,100 gigawatt hours of electricity

each year — enough energy to power more than 450,000 homes per year in B.C.

The project description report provides a general overview of the Site C project and describes key upgrades to the 30-year-

old historic design that were required to meet current seismic, safety and environmental guidelines. These design upgrades have

resulted in improved foundation stability, greater seismic protection, enhanced spillway safety, and additional generating capacity.

The Site C project description report also includes a project cost update based on the upgraded design, and current market

prices for labour, equipment and materials. Site C would have an estimated capital cost of $7.9 billion, and it would produce elec-

tricity at a cost between $87 and $95 per megawatt hour. This would make Site C among the most cost-effective resource options

to help meet B.C.’s future electricity needs.

Site C is estimated to create approximately 7,000 person-years of direct construction employment through the seven-year

construction period. The project is estimated to create up to 35,000 direct and indirect jobs through all stages of development and

construction.

The Site C project requires environmental certification and other regulatory permits and approvals before it can proceed to

construction. In addition, the Crown has a duty to consult and, where appropriate, accommodate Aboriginal groups.

If approved for construction, Site C would be a source of clean and renewable electricity in B.C. for more than 100 years.

About BC Hydro

British Columbia is growing, and so is the need for electricity. BC Hydro is dedicated to meeting at least 66 per cent of the prov-

ince's future electricity needs through conservation by 2020. But in order to meet the remaining demand and continue to ensure a

clean, reliable supply of energy, BC Hydro is investing now in the projects that are needed to keep the lights on in B.C. for future

generations.

The Site C Clean Energy Project (Site C) is now in Stage 3, the envi-

ronmental and regulatory review phase, which will include an in-

dependent environmental assessment. Stage 3 work includes con-

ducting environmental and engineering field studies on and

around the Peace River between the Williston Reservoir and the

Alberta border.

The following studies will be taking place in June 2011. More infor-

mation about these studies and additional studies that may occur

during the month is posted on the Site C website in the Informa-

tion Centre on the Field Studies Notices page.

BC Hydro will require the use of helicopters for some engineering

and environment field studies this spring and summer. Some field

studies may require access to public and private land. BC Hydro

will obtain permission before accessing private property and will

notify property owners who may be directly impacted by helicop-

ters.

Ongoing regular BC Hydro work, in addition to the Site C field

study activities outlined here, may be taking place on the Peace

River and tributaries. This work is related to BC Hydro’s Peace

River water license requirements program or other operations

work.

Field study updates are available at www.bchydro.com/sitec and

in the Community Consultation offices in Fort St. John and

Hudson’s Hope.

Large Item Clean Up WeekLarge Item Clean Up WeekLarge Item Clean Up WeekLarge Item Clean Up Week Monday, June 13- Friday, June 17

Every year the District helps you clean up your yard by coming around and picking up large items

(such as old vehicles, refrigerators, couches, etc.) that you would like to dispose of. The items must

be easily accessible. Any vehicle picked up will need to have the gas tank removed, all fluids drained

and the tires removed.

Sign up by Friday, June 10, 2011, which is the week prior.

No late entries will be accepted. Sorry no exceptions!

As you can understand this must be planned; therefore, you must give us your name, civic address

BC Hydro is advising motorists of a closure of the W.A.C. Bennett Dam Lookout Road and viewpoint, which is located past the west side of the dam and spillway.

The road and viewpoint will be closed from April 26, 2011 to spring 2012. The road closure is necessary for public and worker safety during our Spillway Slope Stabilization Project. This project will see the re-moval of several thousand truckloads of rock from immediately above the spillway in order to prepare for work and improve safety in and around the spillway. The rock will be taken to a spoil site, a short dis-tance west of the dam, on Utah Forest Service Road.

The road across the top of the dam will remain open as will the Elizabeth Creek boat ramp and the Utah Road, although, from Monday to Saturday each week, there will be frequent and sometimes longer traffic delays – in excess of 20 minutes – on the Utah Road during the project. The west end of the dam crest road and Utah Road from the spillway bridge to the spoil site may be flag person controlled.

Updates on road work and traffic delays will be provided in this space in the coming months.

For more information about the Lookout road and viewpoint closure, please contact us at 250 561 4858.

For more information on projects at the W.A.C. Bennett Dam, please go to bchydro.com/gms.

ROAD CLOSURE – SPILLWAY

SLOPE STABILIZATION PROJECT


Over 175 folks dropped by to enjoy all the activities against the backdrop of the most perfect sunny

day.

The day began with a community clean up supported by the Environmental Committee. Pitch-in

bags were doled out and participants cleaned up and dropped them off at Beryl Prairie Fire Depart-

ment and Hudson’s Hope School. Thanks to all those who participated and helped make our town

clean.

A TALISMAN Energy sponsored BBQ was

enjoyed by all. Major burger flipping was

taken on by the volunteer Hudson’s Hope

Fire Department. A special thanks to Shop

Easy for providing a 10% discount on all

supplies.

If you didn’t stop by to take part, you didn’t

have to miss out: a one day local radio on

99.9 FM was available, thanks to the

technical skills of Travous Quibell and the

on the spot interviews by Craig Stephenson.

Thanks to all those who took time to be

interviewed and share their valuable

knowledge.

The JCRs, with the assistance of Kim and Glen McTaggart, were busy running errands, setting up,

attending stations and providing relief for all the volunteers. Thank you for all your services. You

were awesome!

A special thanks to Hudson’s Hope

School for allowing the complete take

over. The school was transformed into a

maze of booths and activities. Both Janis

Herbison with organic gardening tips

and Roy Kennedy with flower growing

strategies were on hand. Mayor Karen

Anderson and Councillor Terry Webster

teamed up to provide information on

2011 elections and the District’s envi-

ronmental programs. Participants could

fill out a questionnaire to gain knowl-

edge and win a free composter. Con-


gratulations to Bonnie Pringle. The District does offer rebates on environmentally friendly pur-

chases. Please check with the office to find out more on this program.

Anna and Amanda from BC Hydro Community Outreach set up a booth with loads of information

and free, fun children’s activities. BC Hydro’s Fish and Wildlife Compensation Program was also on

hand. Arne Langston’s amazing display clearly demonstrated the value of this program. Congratula-

tions to Tracey Rutherford for identifying seven local species correctly and winning a $30 coupon

value from Pro Hardware. The Northern Environmental Action Team, NEAT, with Jennifer and Karen

offered a composting demonstration and valuable tips on conservation.

Caleb Sandford slashed and snipped his way through old jeans to create fashionable updated styles.

He had many great techniques to turn your jeans into the latest fashion without the high costs.

A big thanks to Ryan Tilsner for numerous volunteer hours cutting all material for the birdhouse

building and then manning the station. Thanks to

BC Hydro for making available recycled wood for

this project. With all the birdhouses that went out,

Hudson’s Hope should hear the cheery sounds of

chirping.

Thanks to Betty Nilson for all her support at the

Hudson’s Hope Thrift Store in helping with the

Thrift Store Runway. When he wasn’t flipping

burgers, Alan Stebbing dialogued the models

through this event.

Thanks to our volunteer models: Leah Nichols, Ryan

Koyangi, Roseanne Kirkeeng, Fay Lavallee, Celina

Fequet, Halle Koyangi, Coleman Mercereau and the

young lady who stole the show, Penelope

Mercereau. If you are looking for some fashionable

affordable “recycled” items, check out the Thrift

Shop.

In keeping with the environmental theme, St. Pe-

ter’s Church hosted a community garage sale. Ga-

rage sales are perfect opportunities to reduce and reuse. In addition to St. Peter’s garage sale, a

large item garage sale was happening outside the Sportsman’s Inn. Thanks to all who supported

these causes.

To top the event off, a promise board was set up. Folks could make an environmental promise and

enter a draw for a free rain barrel donated by Pro Hardware. Congratulations to Patti Backlund for

winning.

The support for this event clearly illustrated the commitment Hudson’s Hope has to our environ-

ment.
