FIRE PREVENTION WEEK

Home fires today can burn faster than ever. Occupants may have as little as one to two minutes to escape safely from the time

the smoke alarm sounds. Knowing how to use that time wisely takes planning and practice.

The Boston Bar-North Bend Volunteer Fire Department is teaming up with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) - the official sponsor of the Fire Prevention Week for more than ninety years—to promote this year’s Fire Prevention Week Campaign: “Look. Listen. Learn. Be aware. Fire can happen anywhere.” The campaign works to educate the public about basic but

essential ways to quickly and safely escape a home fire. Fire Prevention Week is October 7th—13th.

Data from Statistics Canada show that the number of structure fires declined by 26 per cent between 2005 and 2014. However, residential fires consistently accounted for roughly 6 of every 10 structural fires during that period. According to StatsCan,

cooking equipment and smokers’ material caused approximately 6 of every 10 residential fires.

“These numbers show that while we’ve made significant progress in teaching people how to prevent fires from happening, there’s still much more work to do in terms of educating the public about how to protect themselves in the event of one,” said Lorraine Carli, NFPA’s vice president of Outreach and Advocacy. “This is particularly critical given the increased speed at which today’s

home fires grow and spread.”

Carli notes that home is the place people are at greatest risk for fire, but home is the place people feel safest. That over-

confidence contributes to complacency toward home-escape planning and practice.

People often make choices in fire situations that jeopardize their safety or even cost them their lives. Fire Departments are trying to do a better job of teaching people about the potentially life-saving difference that escape planning and practice can make and

thereby motivate them into action.

Boston Bar Fire Chief Crystal Pruim says this year’s LOOK, LISTEN AND LEARN campaign highlights three steps people can take to help quickly and safely escape a fire:

• Look for places fire could start

• Listen for the sound of the smoke alarm

• Learn two ways to exit a room While NFPA and Boston Bar-North Bend Volunteer Fire Department are focusing on home fires, these messages apply to virtually any location.

“Situational awareness is a skill people need to use wherever they

go,” said Chief Pruim. “No matter where you are, always look for

available exits. If the alarm system sounds, take it seriously and

exit the building immediately.

From September 23rd to September 29th, Canadian Pacific (CP) and the Canadian Pacific Police Service (CPPS) conducted rail safety blitzes in communities across our network – from Montreal to Vancouver – with participation from other police agencies and schools to educate motorists, pedestrians and the general public about the role we

each play in staying safe.

"All railway property, including tracks and surrounding right-of-ways are private. Unauthorized access by the public is illegal and hazardous. This includes walking on or around tracks, bridges, right-of-ways or rail yards. Trespassing laws are designed to keep the public and our employees safe,” said Laird Pitz, CP’s Senior Vice-President and Chief Risk Officer. "Rail safety requires 24/7 vigilance. We ask everyone to consider their own safety around railroad property. The impact of an incident can have tragic consequences for all concerned, including family, friends and

community."

CP is proud to be the safest railway in North America, with the fewest reportable train accidents per million train miles

among all Class 1 railways for 12 years straight.

CN POLICE SERVICE—R a i l w a y S a f e t y W e e k 2 0 1 8

Now that the hunting season has begun in many communities, CN Police Service would like ot remind the public that trespassing on railway tracks/property to access hunting or fishing locations is not only dangerous (as it can result in significant risk of injury and death), but it is ILLEGAL. Under the Railway Safety Act of Canada, section 26.1 it is an offence for any person to trespass on railway property and can result in a fine of $115.00. Please also remember that driving an ATV, snowmobile or other off road vehicle is a great way to enjoy Canada’s outdoors if you do it safely but off-road vehicles and railway

tracks are not a good combination.

Be aware of your surroundings: Look, Listen and Live!

Statistics: In 2017, more than 222 accidents occurred in Canada resulting in 72 fatalities and 44 serious injuries.

Safety Tips:

• Only cross railway tracks at designated public/pedestrian crossings.

• Obey the railway crossing control devices and do not attempt to beat the train!

• Before walking across any railway crossing, look both ways, listen and only proceed over the crossing when it is safe to do so.

Tuesday, October 2nd at 1:30pm: Thanksgiving Drop-in Program.

September proved to be another busy month. I was invited by the government of Canada to attend the unveiling of a plaque in Lytton, recognizing the Nlaka'pamux basket weavers .

(“...B.C. Indigenous basket-making is an event of historic significance. The baskets have been used to cook, store and transport food — and are considered works of art Among First Nations, basket weavers have always been held in high regard, said John Haugen of the Nlaka'pamux Nation from B.C.'s Fraser Canyon. If you were a good basket maker and somebody else wanted your baskets they would have food to trade with you or other items. The baskets made by Nlaka'pamux women provided economic support for families and communities from about 1850 to 1930 when they were traded in nearby non-Indigenous communities. Today, the baskets are on display in museums around the world and are coveted pieces at auctions.” Dirk Meissner, The

Canadian Press, CBC News September 15, 2018)

During the month, I also attended the Fraser Valley Regional District (FVRD) Advisory Committee meeting as well as the Electoral Area Services Committee meeting in Chilliwack.

I met with Mr Dehler about the Highline houses in North Bend. The Ministry of Transport and Infrastruc-ture is currently waiting for a letter from CP Rail stating they have no issues with this project; this letter is a requirement of the MOTI before they will allow the property to be sub-divided.

Having attended the landfill Society meeting in September, I would like to assure all our residents that the FVRD has NO intention of closing or taking over the operations of the Landfill. The FVRD is required however, to do inspections in order to retain the Provincial Landfill Permit. Like all of you, I am looking forward to a recycling program being put into use.

(" Landfilling is a part of integrated solid waste management systems. Disposal of materials to a landfill is the least preferred management option in the waste management hierarchy after reduce, reuse, recycle and recovery options have been exhaust-ed. However, landfills will continue to remain an essential component of solid waste management systems in order to deal with the wastes that cannot be practically removed from the waste stream."

I attended the Union of BC Municipalities Conference (UBCM) held September 10th to 14th in Whistler. There were discussions of policies being put into effect by BC and/or the Federal Governments such as a requirement for all business to have a business license (this is currently not a requirement in unincorpo-rated areas). Also discussed was the topic of fire code inspections of all businesses (this item on the agenda was not received well as they want us to pay for inspections, whereas it should be a provincial responsibility). While there, I had an opportunity to meet with the BC Emergency Heath Services Commission ( BC Ambulance Service ) and representatives of CN Rail with whom I discussed the blockage of rail crossings for extended periods of time.

I also attended an amazing event on September 16th at Boston Bar Elementary Secondary School, where our community greeted the Cops for Cancer Tour de Valley riders. These are dedicated men and women who work very hard to raise funds for pediatric cancer research and treatment, and they also provide support to children with cancer and their families. Thank you to the event organizer, Linda Carmen and all the volunteers who provided a wonderful luncheon for the riders and their support crew.

At the recommendation of the Province the International-Inter Tribal Trade and Investment group I was invited to speak at their Symposium at Global Affairs Canada on Friday, September 21st and on Saturday I was a guide as the group traveled to Kamloops, via the Fraser Canyon, and then we reconvened on Sunday at Thompson Rivers University faculty of law.

Talks are ongoing with Ministry of Transportation managers regarding road access issues in our area. If you have any questions or comments please do not hesitate to call me at 604-867-8891

I was pleased to attend the Union of BC Municipalities (UBCM) conference again this year to provide support to communities in my riding, including Boston Bar. The UBCM conference is the largest and most important annual meeting of local government leaders in BC and a great opportunity to network, learn and exchange ideas. It is also an opportunity to meet with ministers to discuss issues of importance to communities in Fraser—Nicola.

I was pleased to make representation to Minister Mike Farnworth for the expansion of the government's Disaster Financial Assistance coverage to include relief for the mudslides that occurred during the storms on August 2nd and 3rd. Constituents impacted by mudslides that occurred from August 2nd to 12th may now be eligible for support under the program. Transportation issues, flood mitigation and affordable housing for seniors were other important community issues discussed again at this year's conference. The principles of collaboration, communication, and cooperation were the focal point of the conference I believe that governing is about working together, and it is such a pleasure working in partnership with local elected officials on issues of importance to your community.

At the 55+ BC GAMES which took place in Cranbrook this year,

Canyon Lanes’ team placed 5th overall. Congratulations goes to

AUDRIE PLATT for her Silver Medal win, scoring 77 P.O.A.

September was a busy, fun-filled month at BBESS. Students spent time organizing, learning and relation-ship building in all their classes. We would like to thank PAC for providing our Welcome Back BBQ and Mrs. Dekok for organizing our afternoon of sports events during our first week. In addition, we are very happy to have welcomed our new First Nations Support Worker, Ms. Lillian Isaac to the BBESS team.

On September 13th, the entire school enjoyed a team-building trip to Yale. The morning was full of activities and exploration at the Yale Historic Site. Students learned how to gold pan, participated in a walking tour, scavenger hunts and games, dressed in period costumes and explored tent city and the 1870’s ‘Creighton House’ Museum. In the afternoon we travelled with Fraser River Raft Expeditions for a rainy but wonderful trip from Yale to Hope.

During the third week, we welcomed inspirational speaker Michael Bortolotto. Michael taught us that nothing is impossible and whatever career path you choose, you can make your dreams come true.

In the final week, the grades 5-12 took part in the Alive at 5 WCB presentation and the entire school ran together to support the Terry Fox Run on September 27th. Our fundraising efforts will be split between the Terry Fox Foundation and Cops for Cancer. We would like to thank everyone for their support for all of our learning and special events. In particular, we wish to send a special thanks to REO Rafting for their generous food donation for our lunch program.

Hello Boston Bar-North Bend Community!

For those of you who haven’t met me yet, I am Constable Evelyne JEAN and I am the new police officer in town, replacing Constable Robert TUMBAS.

In the next few months, you will probably hear a lot about me as I like to be involved with the community and the kids as much as I can. I would like to point out the fact, that I am the first female police officer in town, so for those of you that are used to dealing with my two exceptional co-workers Constable Phil Premerl and Constable Darren McKay, please don't hesitate to come and talk with me. I am an outgoing person and really friendly, so don't be shy!! Enough about me...let's talk about what happened in our nice community this past month.

C O P S F O R C A N C E R

Thank you to the community for welcoming and attending the Cops for Cancer event at BBESS school on September 16th and many thanks to all the volunteers who devoted their time. It truly was a success and brought some real joy to our community! We will see them next year for another inspiring round! (editor's note: 2019 will be the 20th year that Cops for Cancer have cycled up the canyon to Boston Bar!)

M U R D E R I N B O S T O N B A R

Amelie Christelle Sakkalis was a 28 year old Belgian national and was travelling in Canada at the time of her death in Boston Bar on August 22nd.

Firstly, I would like to start with something that is very important to me: which is to pray for Amelie's family and friends and hope they can find peace and closure after this tragic and devastating news. As all of you know, losing a loved one is very difficult but to lose someone in such a horrible, tragic way can truly put a hold on someone's life and change things forever. I sincerely hope great memories of Amelie will overshadow any other feelings and allow her family and friends to continue on in their life journeys.

I would also like to mention something that I noticed since the first day of my arrival. There were lots of rumours about the murder in Boston Bar but I would like to clear the air and advise you all that Amelie's murderer was caught. Charged is Sean Mckenzie from Oliver, B.C. He was in transit driving through Boston Bar at the time of the crime. Mckenzie was held in custody until his first court appearance scheduled for September 19, 2018 at 2 pm at Chilliwack Provincial Court. He remains in custody.
