Marie-Paule Lacasse is hopeful the water is-sues that have plagued residents of a Sicamous mobile park for several years will finally be re-solved with help from the district.

Earlier this year, Cedar Ridge Mobile Home Park residents, including Lacasse, ap-pealed to Sicamous council to extend mu-nicipal water to the Sol-squa-Sicamous Road mobile park. It was a re-quest first put to the dis-trict about a decade ago, and again in 2013 with a letter of support from Interior Health. A boil water notice, issued in 2013, and repeated wa-ter shortages, required a new well to be drilled. But this has also been problematic.

In a May 15, 2013 letter to the district, Interior Health health officer Brian Gregory states that some wells on Solsqua-Sicamous Road are considered “ground water at risk of containing pathogens” due to their depth and proximity to Eagle Riv-er, and there would be a public health benefit to extending municipal water along the road.

The most recent re-quest from Cedar Ridge residents was met with verbal support by coun-cil, and written support in a May 27 letter from Mayor Terry Rysz. In it, Rysz states the water-line extension has been identified by council in the 2015 capital works budget.

“Before any work proceeds, there needs to be a public approval process conducted of those properties that will benefit from this waterline extension as well as confirmation from property owners as to a debt repayment scheme covering the cost of the capital works installation,” wrote Rysz.

The mayor goes on to state provincial/fed-eral grants typically are not available for water-line extension projects, but adds once a project is approved by property

owners, the district can apply to any grant fund-ing available to help re-duce the project cost to property owners.

“The district has a number of water and sewer projects on the go at this time and as they reach completion, the district will begin to focus on the public approval process for the Solsqua-Sicamous Road extension.”

At council’s May 27 regular meeting, Coun. Malcolm Makayev asked if the district could do some of the work, with Coun. Gord Bushell noting this might reduce the cost of the project. This got conversation rolling on the topic, and Lacasse was allowed to address council. She applauded the idea of using local resources, noting the mobile park’s property owners definitely want to be on municipal wa-

ter, but do not have the funds to make it hap-pen. Because of this, she suggested the public approval process might be unsuccessful. In re-sponse, she asked the district to consider look to funding options first, or ways of lowering the monthly debt before the public approval process begins.

“Because then there would be the possibility of people saying, ‘yeah, if we dig in, we can do this.’ Because they re-ally want it,” said Lac-asse.

Lacasse noted Interi-or Health might be able to help as well.

“I know for a fact that this small water system that we are on has been a major head-ache for them. Trust me, a major pain in the butt,” said Lacasse.

District administra-tor Fred Banham ex-plained the public ap-

proval process and how it might work out with the waterline extension project, noting it’s “not a perfect situation but it does have merits.” He also emphasized that it’s too early to be con-cerned with who’s go-ing to dig the ditch “be-cause we’re nowhere near there.”

“But we’ll look af-ter your best interests and, when we approve this project, we’ll do it under budget and you won’t pay for what you supported to borrow in the first place,” said Banham.

Lacasse said all the residents at Cedar Ridge are longtime resi-dents, who are only now coming to question why they aren’t on the mu-nicipal water system.

Rysz thanked her and said council will be discussing the matter.

“And hopefully we can find some way to find a solution,” he said.

Still unclear on the details regarding how the waterline might be extended, let alone paid for, Lacasse is at least optimistic.

“I have the feeling they are taking this se-riously and they are go-ing to be trying to do something,” said Lac-asse.

Mobile park residents optimistic on water request

Coroners Service investigate rail fatalFew details have

been released relating to the death of a pedes-trian in a train accident that occurred Friday on CP Rail tracks a east of Malakwa.

CP confirm the death occurred at ap-proximately 11 a.m. on June 19. Spokesperson Salem Woodrow said a westbound freight train “made contact

with an individual near the community of Mal-akwa… which unfor-tunately resulted in a fatality.”

Sicamous RCMP and CP Police are as-

sisting in the investiga-tion, which is now in the hands of the B.C. Coroners Service.

No one else is re-ported to have been injured in the incident,

and authorities are not considering the matter suspicious.

The name of the de-ceased was not being released until police notify family.

DISTRICT OF SICAMOUS

As a guiding document that seeks to address social, economic and environmental goals within the community, the Official Community Plan (OCP) covers topics such as growth management, agriculture, residential development, commercial and residential waterfront development, downtown and highway redevelopment and the environment. The OCP directs the District and Council toward common goals and purpose when evaluating community growth and development.

In order to provide a draft document, that reflects the desires for the future growth and development in the community, public input is vital. This will be an opportunity to explore components of the existing OCP and to look towards the future growth of the community.

The 2nd Public Open House is scheduled for Thursday July 9, 2015 from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. This will be an opportunity to explore components of the existing OCP and to look towards the future growth of the community. Please plan to attend!

For more information on the OCP Review please visit the District of Sicamous website (www.sicamous.ca) and follow the link to Official Community Plan Review or contact the Development Services Department at (250) 836-2477.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, even The B.C. govern-ment appears reluctant to give municipalities more say on mines ap-plications within their jurisdiction.

At the Union of B.C. Municipalities conven-tion last September, District of Sicamous council submitted a resolution to have UBCM lobby the B.C. government to amend the Mines Act, so that permit applicants would have to confirm a proposed mining ac-tivity is supported in the local official com-munity plan. The reso-lution stemmed from the district’s concerns over a gravel pit ap-plication for a property along Old Town Road.

The resolution re-ceived unanimous sup-port at UBCM. The Ministry of Energy and Mines recently provid-

ed a response, which is brief, unspecific and did nothing to quell council’s concerns.

“Their response is quite vague in my opinion, and this is something that we’re probably going to have to revisit again if we’re going to obviously be heard…,” said Mayor Terry Rysz. “I’m not sure whether or not we’ll have to go back to UBCM and maybe revisit this particular resolution. But as it sits right now, it doesn’t seem like they’re really willing to do… any-thing about it.”

District commu-nity planner Mike Marrs agreed with the “vague” comment, adding the response leaves the district hanging. He said the approval process for the gravel pit continues to move forward, albeit slowly.

“I can indicate the

Splatsin have asked for a review of the prop-erty, which they have done, and it lacks sup-port,” reported Marrs. “We haven’t received any further communi-cation since I received that about a week and a half ago.”

Rysz was enthusias-tic about the province’s response to a second resolution the district was involved in – that the province work with UBCM to develop a funding mechanism to assist governments or community groups in the acquisition and maintenance of aban-doned railway corri-dors.

The Ministry of For-ests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations replied to this, explain-ing the province has already acquired more than 2,000 kilometres of former rail corridors.

“Where the prov-ince declines to acquire

abandoned rail corri-dors for public purpos-es and where commu-nities want to acquire the corridor, the prov-ince will consider op-portunities to work with local governments to explore opportuni-ties for acquisition,” states the ministry.

This resolution has to do with an ongoing campaign by local gov-ernments to acquire the CP Rail corridor from Sicamous to Arm-strong. Last December, the Splatsin signed a deal for the acquisition of 11.7 hectares of the rail line. The band is also working with the Columbia Shuswap and North Okanagan regional districts to-wards the acquisition of the remainder.

“I’d like to see this process move a little bit quicker than what is happening right now… but anyway, we are go-ing on it,” said Rysz.

The bond between local communities has been strengthened through a shared vi-sion.

Last Wednesday, representatives from the Splatsin First Na-tion and the North Okanagan and Co-lumbia-Shuswap re-gional districts signed a memorandum of un-derstanding during a ceremony in Sicamous.

“Forty years from now, what we are do-ing today will have an impact,” said Wayne Christian, Splatsin chief.

The agreement es-tablishes the ground-work for the band and the two regional dis-tricts to pursue pos-sible acquisition of the discontinued Canadian Pacific rail corridor from Spallumcheen to Sicamous.

“We see the abil-ity for common under-standing,” said Chris-tian. “There are lots of details to work out but the fact that we are in the same room is im-portant.”

Signing the agree-

ment for the Columbia-Shuswap Regional Dis-trict was chairperson Rhona Martin.

“I hope this is the first step of many we walk together. Let’s get this thing going, it’s ex-citing,” she said.

Representing the Re-gional District of North Okanagan was director Herman Halvorson.

“It’s a starting point and we will work to-gether on a vision of trails from Sicamous to Armstrong,” he said.

The next step in the process will see all par-ties identify how pur-chase of the corridor may occur and how the necessary funds will be generated.

“That’s the big ques-

tion,” said Halvorson when asked about the potential cost.

Christian is confi-dent a successful out-come can be achieved.

“Look at eco-tour-ism and what it can of-fer the region and the world. There are eco-nomic opportunities for the whole region, including our people.”

District in rut on mine permits

Splatsin, local governments unite on rail trail


VICTORIA – I’ve just spent two weeks view-ing events from the oppo-site side of Canada, in and around St. John’s New-foundland. It’s the same country, but you wouldn’t know it sometimes.

Here on the West Coast, “kayaktivists” paddled around a Shell offshore oil drilling platform being serviced at Seattle, strik-ing poses of resistance for the media from their petro-leum-based watercraft.

Meanwhile, at Bull Arm outside St. John’s, work continues on a massive “gravity-based structure” that will soon be drilling into the Hebron oilfield 350 kilometres offshore. It will have living quarters and drill rig above, and a tank with capacity for 1.2 mil-lion barrels of crude below.

Offshore oil has turned St. John’s into a boomtown. With one industrial park nearing capacity on the

edge of town, a second is under construction.

St. John’s Airport is buzzing with flights back and forth to Edmonton and Fort McMurray, and crew helicopters shuttling back and forth from offshore oil rigs. Tourism is picking up, with a new cross-Canada ad campaign and WestJet starting service to Dublin and London.

A foreign supplier won a contract for tankers to bring oil ashore. With no media-connected environ-mental groups to steer the subject to far-fetched disas-ter scenarios, debate in the Newfoundland and Lab-rador legislature turned to concerns about maintaining local employment.

Outside the city, paral-lels with B.C. become evi-dent. Tiny towns struggle to hang on as young people choose opportunity over isolation, and the only ex-pansion is at church grave-yards. While cities struggle with high housing and rec-reational property costs,

homes in remote areas are going for a song.

Up north in Labrador, a hydroelectric dam at Musk-rat Falls is under construc-tion. Its $8 billion estimat-ed price tag is in the same range as BC Hydro’s Site C project on the Peace River, which will part a sea of protesters and lawyers and move ahead this summer. Nalcor Energy, Newfound-land’s electrical utility, is dipping into contingencies in an effort to keep it on time and on budget.

Here on the Left Coast, enviros and the Green Party rail against hydro as well as oil and gas, and of course you can’t even mention nuclear.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper signed on to a far-cical “carbon free in 85 years” pledge at the G7 meeting in Germany. But hey, it’s an election year, not a time for serious dis-cussion of issues.

Imperial Oil’s Kearl oil-sands mine at Fort McMur-ray has started production

from its $9 billion second phase, with the help of many Newfoundlanders.

With the legislature about to be recalled to en-dorse the Petronas-led LNG export project, Premier Christy Clark has assem-bled a climate action team with representatives from industry, First Nations, lo-cal governments and a cou-ple of professional protest-ers for good measure.

They have an absurdly short deadline to recom-mend changes to B.C.’s to-ken carbon tax, as gasoline consumption returns to pre-tax levels despite continued high pump prices.

In St. John’s, another long, cold winter has finally loosened its grip after piling snow to doorknob levels. Every street in sight is be-ing patched and repainted.

The debate about new energy supplies has a more serious tone in Newfound-land. The last elected pre-mier, Kathy Dunderdale, lost her job in the wake of winter power blackouts.

Splatsin leaders on rail trail campaign

OPINION

There was a lot of optimism as the Splatsin First Nation gathered with the North Okanagan and Columbia-

Shuswap regional districts in Sicamous last Wednesday.

On a stretch of the discontinued rail line, the organizations signed a memorandum of understanding that commits them to find a way to acquire the corridor from Canadian Pacific for community use.

“Forty years from now, what we are do-ing today will have an impact,” said Wayne Christian, Splatsin chief.

And that certainly could be the case if the purchase occurs and a recreational corridor for visitors and locals is developed, giving a much-needed boost to the tourism sec-tor. Some sections could also assist with outstanding issues like traffic congestion through Enderby.

While the two regional districts are in-volved, the leadership for this process has come from the Splatsin.

“Look at eco-tourism and what it can offer the region and the world. There are economic opportunities for the whole region, including our people,” said Christian.

Wednesday’s ceremony came two weeks after the Truth and Reconciliation Commis-sion recounted the often strained relationship between aboriginals and non-aboriginals in Canada.

None of that was evident as leaders from Spallumcheen to Sicamous stood together.

“I hope this is the first step of many we walk together,” said Rhona Martin, Colum-bia-Shuswap Regional District chairperson.

A lot of work still has to occur, including a potential source of funds, and ultimately the rail line may not be acquired.

But the fact that all of us as neighbours are working together is already the best outcome possible.

On May 15, the Government of Canada announced its plan to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to 30 per cent below 2005 levels by 2030.

Minister of the Envi-ronment Leona Agluk-kaq also said that new regulatory measures will be developed in a responsible, sector-by-sector approach to build on successes in GHG reductions to date.

In 2013, Canada’s GHG emissions were

3.1 per cent lower than 2005 levels while the economy grew by 12.9 per cent over the same period. Now that our government has dem-onstrated that it is pos-sible to reduce GHGs while growing Cana-da’s economy, we have made this commitment to continue the impor-tant work of reducing GHGs while driving the economy forward.

In 2012, Canada was the first major coal user to ban the construction of traditional coal-fired electricity genera-tion. Coal is the largest source of GHG in the world. Canada repre-sents less than two per cent of all global carbon emissions and in com-parison, the U.S. coal sector alone produces more GHGs than all of Canada.

Through invest-ments in research and

the introduction of stricter emission guide-lines, Canada is a leader in clean electrical gen-eration with 79 per cent of Canada’s electricity being produced emis-sion free.

In the transportation sector, our government has invested in public transit in our cities and has set fuel efficiency targets for our auto in-dustry which has led to better fuel mileage in newer vehicles. Like-wise, Canada’s rail and commercial transport truck operators have also improved the fuel efficiency of the loco-motives and tractors that they use to reduce emissions.

The May 15 an-

nouncement, referred to as a Nationally De-termined Contribution, has also been formally submitted to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.

Our government is working with stake-holders in various sec-tors to meet our targets and achieve results without compromising our economy or imple-menting a job-killing carbon tax.

E n v i r o n m e n t a l stewardship can only be judged on proven results and we are the first government in Canadian history to reduce GHGs. This proves our actions have worked.

Enjoy Canada Day

Canada Day occurs on July 1st, the anniversary of Canada’s c o n f e d e r a t i o n . C a n a d i a n s commemorate the day with parades, � reworks, cookouts, and concerts. The popularity of the holiday has been on the incline since the late 1960’s and has since become a nationwide celebration.

Formerly known as “Dominion Day,” Canada Day marks the anniversary of the Constitution Act of 1867, joining Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and the Canada province (now Ontario and Quebec) into a single country. The Constitution Act granted Canada a substantial amount of independence from England, although complete independence was not

given until 1982. Prior to 1900, there was little Canadian nationalism as many Canadians regarded themselves as British citizens. The � rst of� cial celebration was held in 1917 to honor Canada’s 50th birthday. It was not until 1946 that Phileas Cote, a member of the Quebec House of Commons, sent a private member’s bill to rename Dominion Day as Canada Day. The Senate responded by recommending the holiday be named the “National Holiday of Canada.” Since no one could agree on the name, the bill was defeated. The government � rst recognized Canada Day in 1958 by holding a trooping of the color on Parliament Hill in Ottawa. Canada’s centennial marked the � rst widespread

celebration in 1967. The event promoted nationalism and Canadian pride. The holiday continued to grow in the late 1960’s and many Canada Day events were televised and broadcasted throughout the country. In the 1980’s, the government began funding Canada Day activities in smaller communities. The holiday was � nally made of� cial by a unanimous vote on October 27, 1982; the same year that the Canada Act was passed, removing any remaining dependence of Canada on the United Kingdom. While the public had recognized the holiday for decades, this marked a signi� cant change in the magnitude of the celebrations.

Canada Day History

Canada celebrates its 147th birthday in 2014. Even though many things have changed since 1867, the year the Canadian federation was created through the British North America Act, taking pride in being Canadian is still alive and well. That is why it’s no surprise that people love to gather together to celebrate Canadian values,

successes, identity, and heritage.

For this occasion, all the provinces and territories will vibrate to the rhythm of the celebration, which takes place from ocean to ocean on July 1. Did you know that it was in 1879 that Parliament adopted a law making the � rst of July an of� cial holiday?

Every year, the Celebrate Canada

event groups together festivities over a period of 11 days. National Aboriginal Day kicks things off on June 21, followed by St-Jean-Baptiste Day on June 24, and Canadian Multi cul-turalism Day on June 27. Canada Day tops off all the ceremonies on July 1. Gatherings, shows, games, and more are on the menu for this eventful day.

Keep money in the local economy

Locally-owned businesses often put a larger share of their revenue back into their communities. Small business owners may be more inclined to employ local residents, giving more people in the community solid employment. Business owners may reach out and support other neighborhood efforts, such as fundraising initiatives for charities and schools. By shopping at local stores, you have a hand in supporting these efforts as well.

A second season of Sicamous soccer has come to an end.

With a larger enrol-ment than last year, and hotter weather, this was the best year yet.

Sicamous Soccer would like to thank the Shuswap Youth Soccer Association for once again letting us practice in Sicamous and play games with Salmon Arm teams.

There were enough boys in the U8 division to form a Sicamous team again this year and they did exception-ally well.

A huge thank you to the volunteer coaches Gwyneth Gau and Amanda Van Damme, who coached the Si-camous Timbits (ages 3-5), and to Lexi Gos-sen and John Dewitt for coaching the players in

the girls and boys U6-U12 divisions.

Thanks also goes out to all of the par-ents who helped with coaching, supervising and cheering on the players.

Organizers hope to see everyone again next year for the third season of Sicamous Soccer.

Shift at schoolsThe shift is on at

School District #83. With Wendy Wood-

hurst stepping away from her role as direc-tor of instruction, South Broadview principal Carl Cooper has been named the new Director of Instruction for Cur-riculum and Innovation. Woodhurst will become the vice principal at South Broadview El-ementary, a temporary placement until a more permanent principal po-sition is available.

Val Edgell will be moving from Parkview Elementary to Eagle River Secondary. Edgell has secondary vice-prin-cipal experience from

other districts and looks forward to bringing this experience and knowl-edge of the Sicamous community to her new role. The process for the vacant principal po-sition at Parkview will be announced as soon as plans are finalized by the school district.

Current Eagle River Secondary principal Scott Anderson has served seven successful years and will be mov-ing to Len Wood Middle School.

Len Wood Middle School principal Glen Overgaard will be mov-ing to South Broadview Elementary to replace Cooper.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21Taurus, play things close to the vest this week. Certain projects are up in the air, and you may need to more closely examine each situation before suggesting a course of action.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21It can be tough to stay on track this week, Gemini. It’s hard to focus on work even for short periods of time. Try to maintain your productivity amidst the distractions.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22Cancer, if you have any free time this week, sneak off to a quiet place and daydream for a little while. Some of your most inspiring ideas have come at the most unexpected moments.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23The line between fact and fantasy can be a bit blurry this week, Leo. You may be pulled in different directions, but try to maintain your focus.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22Virgo, rather than looking at things on the surface, dig a little deeper to try to find more profound meanings. You may unearth several interesting patterns.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23Libra, you may feel as though you are in unfamiliar surroundings this week. Don’t get too scared, as this break from the norm might provide a little extra hop in your step.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22Recognize the potential for magic wherever you go this week, Scorpio. You have the ability to see beauty where others only see blemishes. Turn others on to your way of thinking.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21Sagittarius, encourage family members to gather in the coming days. Planning a day or evening with those you love most is a great way to escape the daily grind.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20Capricorn, honor all of your commitments in the coming days. Recognize others are counting on you and do your best to live up to their expectations.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18Aquarius, give a minor financial issue the attention it deserves. It’s better to nip it in the bud early on so the situation does not escalate. Take responsibility for the problem.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20Pisces, avoid distractions as you look to resolve an issue that has been tough to handle. Try to clear your head before making decisions.
