Could Revelstoke become home to a bioenergy facility?

Imagine taking all the wood waste produced around Revelstoke — the waste from the mills and the slash piles in the backcountry that are burned in the fall — and converting that into usable energy.

That is the proposal of John Christie, a business consultant who focuses on green technology development. He recently approached Revelstoke council and the Revelstoke Community Energy Corporation about new technologies that are used to convert wood waste into bioenergy.

“It is changing quite quickly and I’m able to see the new technolo-gies coming. I have clients who are very interested in them and I do the business case for them,” Christie told the Times Review. “There’s actu-ally some good economic sense to do these new technologies. I just wanted to bring it to their attention and see if they’re interested in pur-suing the next step.”

Council paid attention to his pitch. They voted to contribute $15,000 from the Economic Opportunity Fund to have Christie prepare a request for proposal (RFP) for a bioenergy facility in Revelstoke.

I spoke to Christie last week by phone to find out more about his pro-posal. He said Revelstoke, with its abundant wood waste — both from the mills and in the bush — is well positioned to be the site of a bioen-ergy facility that would convert that waste into a usable fuel.

Christie mentioned two possibilities. The first was torrefied wood pellets — essentially a more energy dense form of wood that could be used for heating.

“They increase the density of energy in wood products to make it much more economical for both the consumer and for a business to invest in,” he said. “There’s better margins.”

The other techology he spoke of, and focused most on, was that of converting wood waste into a form of green diesel fuel

The technology behind converting biomass to diesel is fairly new. The first plant to do so was opened by BioEnergy International, a green energy company, and OMV, an Austrian oil and gas company, in Austria in July 2012. The plant converts wood biomass into diesel fuel by heat-ing it with heavy oil. According to the proponents, the fuel meets green energy standards without using crops that are needed for food produc-tion like ethanol fuel, which is mostly made from corn.

According to Christie, the technology is nearing the point where it will soon be economically feasible to build a plant in Revelstoke. “Probably the most exciting new technology is making green diesel from biomass,” he said. “That’s just on the cusp.

“I know the technology will work, it’s just a matter of who’s going to be first.”

It is also scalable, so small plants could be built, Christie said.Preparing the RFP will require two steps. The first is a survey of

potential participants to make sure there’s enough interest to warrant proceeding.

Revelstoke Mountain Resort was taken over by snowmobilers on the weekend for the first annual Revelstoke hill climb race, put on by the Western Canadian Hillcross Association. The event saw sledders go over a jump, corner a berm and then race through a gated course uphill to the top of the old ski resort. For more, see pages 8–9. Alex Cooper/Revelstoke Times Review

ROXY CLOSURE feud over tourism funding goes Revelstoke-viral as theatre shuts doors - 12

The Fish & Wildlife Compensation Program is being urged to re-

think the way it manages the Arrow Lakes fishery, with a greater focus

on restoring wild spawning streams over operating artificial spawning

channels.The advice came from a meeting in Nakusp last Monday, Mar. 31,

where four biologists from the FWCP made presentations about the

state of the fishery. They spoke about the nutrient restoration program

and presented charts on the number of people fishing and the fish being

caught. They spoke about the Hill Creek Spawning Channel and about

what the program plans on doing in the future.

What they heard back is that they need to re-think and re-focus their

efforts, because what they’re doing doesn’t seem to be working.

The FWCP presentation focused on three things — the nutrient res-

toration program, the angler survey, and the Hill Creek spawning chan-

nel. Here’s a look at all three, followed by the feedback they received.

NutrieNt restoratioN progr

am

Marley Bassett, a fish biologist, spoke about the nutrient restoration

program. It started in 1998 with the aim of adding phosphorous to the

Arrow Lakes reservoir to improve the food web from the bottom up, she

explained. Phytoplankton eat phosphorous, zooplankton eat phytoplank-

ton, kokanee eat zooplankton and the bigger fish eat kokanee. The res-

ervoir is monitored to show how the phosphorous is moving up through

the food web.

Bassett told the group that phosphorous levels in the reservoir were

remaining steady, indicating the nutrients are moving up through the

food web.

“In general, since the nutrient restoration project is going on, we’ve

had a three-fold increase in biomass for kokanee, but unfortunately the

last few years have not been so great,” she said.

The chart she presented showed a huge increase in kokanee in the

first five years of the nutrient restoration program, followed by a general

decline since then.

“Same as the other guys, we see these cycles. It’s a bit concerting, but

one thing that’s happened in 2013 that changed the pace a little bit, is we

see an increase in the size,” she said. “Bigger fish is good, it means bet-

Treehouse hotel concept

for Revelstoke resort area

These imageis depict a series of treehouse accommodations available at Treehotel, a destination resort near Lulea,

Sweden. The spa-like accommodation features ultra-contemporary interior and exterior design based in familiar

nature settings. It’s billed as a place to rejuvenate and recuperate in nature. In Revelstoke, city council will consider

an annexation proposal for an 18-acre lot located in the Columbia-Shuswap Regional District at the base of Revel-

stoke Mountain Resort. The owner plans to develop a treehouse destination accommodation very similar to this one.

However, the plans are very preliminary, and will require annexation, city services and zoning changes.

The owners of an 18-acre prop-

accommodation for the property.

David Evans and Shelley Sharpe

want to build an approximately

25-unit tree-hotel, which features

low-impact, eco-accommodations

on the treed property. They would be

served by a central lodge with a res-

taurant and other amenities.

In an interview with the Times

Review, Evans emphasized they are

posal, starting with an annexation

request that is before Revelstoke

Thelma Nilsen, Revelstoke’s oldest resident, dies at 108

Thelma Nilsen, Revelstoke’s old-est resident, died last Monday, Apr. 14, at the age of 108.

The Times Review interviewed Nilsen just before her 105th birthday. She demonstrated her feistiness then, and kept it up for three more years.

Nilsen, nee Harwood was born on Nov. 23, 1905, in Montreal. She moved to Vancouver at a young age and then to Revelstoke in 1920 after

her father got transferred here by CP Rail.

She’s stayed ever since, working for Fred Young’s dress shop and as a crew clerk for CP.

She met her husband Ivan Nilsen while on a trip to Quebec City — coincidentally, they were both from Revelstoke.

Throughout her life she was instrumental in starting the Junior Women’s Hospital Auxiliary and played an active role in the early ski days of Revelstoke.

Thelma lived at home until she was 102, when a fall led her to be hospitalized and eventu-ally transferred to Mount Cart-ier Court.

A memorial service was held

at the Revelstoke United Church on Saturday, Apr. 19.

With Nilsen’s passing, Kay Martin, 102, is believed to be Revelstoke’s oldest living resi-dent.

Enderby snowmobile thief sent to jail

An Enderby man will be serv-ing jail time in connection to the theft of a pickup truck and two snowmobiles stolen in Revel-stoke earlier this year.

On April 15, Mitchell Sze-kely, 34, was sentenced in Salmon Arm Supreme Court to serve 128 days in prison for pos-session of stolen property, and a month for dangerous opera-tion of a motor vehicle. In addi-tion, Szekely is prohibited from driving for three years, and was ordered to provide a DNA sam-ple.

Szekely was nabbed by authorities in Sicamous on Feb. 23 after police tried to stop a sus-picious pickup truck and trailer, carrying two snowmobiles, trav-elling through the commu-nity. Instead of pulling over, the driver attempted to evade police. A pursuit ensued over a short distance until the suspect lost control of the vehicle and drove into a ditch.

The suspect then fled on foot, and was later tracked by police dog to a nearby property where he was found hiding in a motorhome. The suspect was taken into custody without inci-dent.

The truck, trailer and snow-mobiles were registered out of Saskatchewan, and had been sto-len from Revelstoke earlier that morning.

Szekely was charged with breach of probation, possession of stolen property over $5,000 and attempting to evade police.

Throughout this sledding sea-son, Sicamous, Revelstoke and Salmon Arm RCMP have been making a co-ordinated effort to crack down on snowmobile thefts in the region. This has included frequent road checks of trucks and trailers, as well the use of police bait sleds.

If you are using one of those medications that comes in a patch, here’s a safe way to dispose of it after use. Fold the sticky sides together then put the patch in a safe place for return to the pharmacy. Don’t throw them in the garbage or flush them down the toilet. Drugs that can be applied as a patch include a powerful pain medication, hormones and nicotine replacement treatments.

Dementia, of which Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form, affects 44 million people worldwide. That number will increase to 135 million by 2050. There hasn’t been any new drugs created for the past ten years to treat the disease. A Danish company has a new drug that it hopes to release in about three years.

World Malaria Day is commemorated every year on April 25. Half the

world’s population is at risk of contracting malaria. In 2009, 790,000 people in Africa alone died from the disease. The incidence of the disease can be reduced by the use of insecticide-treated bed nets, treatment of the disease with medications and using preventative treatment of pregnant women.

Smoking is a definite risk factor for stillbirths. This applies to marijuana-smoking as well. With the

legalization of marijuana sales in a couple of U.S. states, it’s important to ensure that the dangers to the fetus of smoking are emphasized. This risk also applies to second-hand smoke.

Our pharmacy education continues for a lifetime. It’s important to us that we keep current with the latest in drug therapy. It helps us maintain a high level of service to our customers.

Selkirk Tangiers Heli Skiing is look-ing to expand into summer operations with heli-hiking, mountain biking, mountain-eering and more offerings.

"I guess the last 10 years or even longer, we've thought about the possibility of sum-mer operations," said operations manager Jeff Honig. "In the tourist climate that we have now in Revelstoke, I think summer operations could work quite well. It would complement things that are already here."

Selkirk Tangiers filed an application with the Integrated Land Management Bureau for a tenure application for a vari-ety of helicopter-accessed summer tourism options. They are hiking, mountain biking, sightseeing, picnicking, mountaineering and via-ferrata.

The application is to provide those activ-ities in four different zones — the Ghost Zone around Ghost Peak southeast of Rev-elstoke; the Albert Zone around Albert Peak, the Choices Zone on the western border of Glacier National Park, and the Carnes Zone around Carnes Peak north of Revelstoke. The application covers a com-bined area of more than 20,000 hectares of alpine terrain.

"The proposed tenure includes all the unique terrain required for intended offer-ings, including high elevation glaciated peaks, rolling sub-alpine meadows, and craggy rock peaks," the application states.

While Selkirk Tangiers has a winter ten-ure for the area, they are required to apply for summer tenure.

"We don't need the vast area we require in the winter for our summer business, so I really tried to pare down the actual zones we need to run the business successfully," said Honig.

The plan is to have all activities helicop-ter access only. For hiking, tourists would be flown into remote alpine areas and exist-ing features such as game trails, and rocky surfaces would be used as trails. Minimal trail building would be required, the appli-cation says. There are plans for half-day and full-day hikes, with overnight hikes a possibility in the future.

Heli-picnicking would be a less inten-sive program than hiking. Guests would be flown to a scenic location for a short walk and lunch.

Mountaineering would take place in the

Albert and Carnes zones. Guests would be flown to the larger peaks for a day of snow, rock and/or ice climbing to the summit of one of the peaks in the area.

Via ferrata would take a European concept and bring it to Canada. It would involve placing a series of cables, ladders and bridges to the summit of major peaks, allowing almost anyone to summit. They woudl be located on Ghost Peak, Choices Peak, Albert Peak and Carnes Peak.

"These would be heli-accessed," said Honig. "We'd land at the base and hike the upper ridge feature to a summit. It would be quite an experience. You'd be clipped to a cable the whole time, so you'd be pro-tected from any falls. It would be quite safe."

Mountain biking would take place along a series of trails around Ghost Peak. The plan is to construct a 50-kilometre trail net-work in the alpine, with descent options back to the Columbia River valley via the existing Mount Cartier trail and a sec-ond trail below Kokanee Bowl on Mount Mackenzie.

"The heli-biking is very exciting because there's not a lot of products out there like that," said Honig. "You hear of it in Whis-tler but it's not really to the same commer-cial level that we'd like to take this."

Selkirk Tangiers hopes to jump on the

growing popularity of Revelstoke as a mountain biking destination.

"I think this would be a good exten-sion and additional offering to the stuff we already have here," said Honig.

There are also plans to construct a cabin east of Ghost Peak that would serve as an emergency shelter and accommodation for overnight hiking, mountain biking and ski touring.

If the application is approved, Selkirk Tangiers hopes to begin offering tours and to start construction of mountain bike trails and a via ferrata up Ghost Peak this fall. The plan is to finish all trail and via ferrata construction by 2019.

How does Revelstoke Mountain Resort tie into all of this? After all, the two com-panies share the same owners — Northland Properties.

Rob Elliott, the general manager of RMR, said the resort has plans for a moun-tain biking offering, but it is still a few years off while they focus on winter devel-opment.

"There probably won't be a downhill component," he said. “Not this year, but year's following we might explore a gon-dola ride into the alpine — a Frisby Ridge type ride. Those are possibilities that are within our reach."

A familiar face returns as editor of the Times Review

A few months ago I wrote my farewell column in this paper. I reminisced about my 4.5 years as a reporter in Revelstoke — the major stories I wrote, the big events I cov-ered, the adventures I got to go on. It was a great job, but it was time to take that promo-tion to editor and run my own paper, which I had the opportunity to do down south in Nakusp.

“I’m looking forward to talking to people without thinking, ‘Is this a story?’” I wrote at the time.

Well, that was then and this is now. My departure – and the decision not to replace me – led my former editor Aaron Orlando, to move on. And so the call came to me to see if I would take on the challenge.

I never really left Revelstoke. I was in Nakusp on weekdays and back here when-ever I could to go skiing and see friends. My job was there, but my heart stayed here. I said yes to the new job.

I’ll be honest — it’s not going to be easy. There’s a lot going on in Revelstoke for one person to cover. It will be dif� cult to get out to everything and write interesting fea-tures, on top of covering important news and enjoying a personal life.

Still, it’s a step up career wise and I get to stay in Revelstoke full time, so I’m giv-ing it my best shot. You will probably notice a change in the tone of the newspaper. Like it or not, the interests of a reporter gener-ally seeps into what we write about. You’ll probably see less coverage of city hall and more writing about things I’m really inter-

ested in like environmental issues and out-door sports.

I’m going to do my best to keep the focus of the paper as broad as possible, and I hope you readers can provide me with news tips and let me know what’s going on, because we’re down to one set of eyes and ears and I won’t be able to keep on top of everything myself. I know my colleagues at the paper will let me know if I write too many articles about skiing.

Hopefully I can continue the tradition Aaron set over the last six years and con-tinue to put out a good product with engag-ing stories and good community coverage.

COMPARING REVELSTOKE TO NAKUSP

In my brief, three month stint in Nakusp, I couldn’t help myself from comparing it to Revelstoke. I’m sure the people I met there got sick of my saying, “In Revelstoke, it’s like this.”

The � rst thing, is that coming back here on weekends, it felt like going to the big city. Nakusp was quiet and sleepy, whereas Revelstoke feels lively and thriving. Say what you will about housing costs or the state of the economy, the fact is, Revelstoke is doing alright. Tourism is increasing, the forestry sector is improving and other sec-tors of the economy appear stable.

Revelstoke feels like a lively commu-nity with a pretty good future ahead of it. I didn’t get that feeling in Nakusp, nor did I really get the feeling people wanted it to be thriving. There’s a large segment of the pop-ulation there that appreciates Nakusp as a beautiful, but sleep town. In Revelstoke, the momentum is on the side of growth.

The other major difference I noticed was in the size of city hall. Nakusp has one-� fth the population of Revelstoke, but its municipal budget is about 10 per cent of Revestoke’s. Some of that is a matter of the weather — Nakusp’s spends $50,000 per year on snow removal, compared to almost $1 million here — but some is a matter of choice.

The Village of Nakusp offers fewer ser-vices and takes on less challenges. There is no curbside recycling, no economic devel-opment of� cer, and no social or environ-mental coordinators. They simply do the minimum amount of work expected of a municipality — � xing the streets, collect-ing garbage, and keeping the parks looking good. They do run the hot springs, but that’s because no one was willing to buy them.

I bring this up because this is a municipal election year and journalists love elections and the change and discussion they bring. Most of the political talk in Revelstoke dur-ing my time here has been about overspend-ing by city hall — whether on excessive planning exercises, snow clearing, street sweeping and more. Residents complain the city spends too much and taxes are too high; council counters that no one wants service cuts, and services have to be paid for.

Municipal elections are coming up in November and already different groups are aligning to run candidates. Spending will be the dominant theme and there will be a lot of talk about � nding ef� ciencies and main-taining of cutting services.

Finding ef� ciencies will only go so far. If people are serious about wanting the city to reduce spending, then real decisions will have to be made on service cuts. This has rami� cations.

Would eliminating the social develop-ment coordinator harm Revelstoke’s social service sector? Would removing the envi-ronmental coordinator position prevent the city from taking a progressive stance on environmental issues? Would reducing the snow removal budget harm the ability of people, especially seniors to get around? Would cutting the planning department bud-get lead to delays in developments getting approved, or — perhaps worse — result in bad developments getting approved?

Hopefully the municipal campaign won’t just be a simple debate about reducing spending, but an honest discussion about Revelstoke’s priorities as a community.

It will be an interesting year.

New season brings more big news from Revy RiderssPoRts

The Revy Riders dirt bike club is looking at expanding its motocross track and building a new beginner area.

Three years after the Revy Riders opened their track at the north end of Westside Road, they are applying to expand their tenure in order to lengthen the track, create a beginner trail, and expand the parking to make room for the pro riders they hope to attract.

The eventual goal is to hold a moto-cross race in Revelstoke, while also making it more beginner-friendly, said Chris Pawlitsky, the president of the Revy Riders.

"We've applied for more land because our area isn't really big enough," he told the Times Review. "If we want to hold a bigger moto-cross race, our track isn't big enough. To keep up the standard of Motocross BC, we need a longer track."

They have also applied to extend track hours to 8 p.m. from 7 p.m.

The Revy Riders have grown rap-idly over the past three years since the opening of their track in late 2010. Since then, they have added an endu-rocross track and a 60-kilometre trail network on the lower flanks of Frisby

Ridge.This summer, the plan is to finish

a 12-kilometre expert trail and build a beginner trail. The club has about $50,000 to spend on trail building this year, Pawlitsky said.

"We want to get more beginners interested and out there," he said.

The growth of the Revy Riders has attracted the attention of the dirt bik-ing community. World Trials of Can-ada will be hosting the Western Cana-dian Championships here on June 28–29. Trials biking involves navigat-ing over a series of challenging obsta-cles along a course. Pawlitsky said the event would make use of rock quarries left over from the dam building days.

"They excavated it and left some big rock areas that are perfect for tri-als," he said. "The riders will connect these trials areas and use our trails to connect to the stunts they want."

Also in talks is a major event spon-sored by Red Bull, the major energy drink and extreme sports media com-pany. Pawlitsky said there are sev-eral ideas in mind, though nothing has been finalized.

There is also a ladies ride planned for this summer, which will include riding clinics, bike maintenance classes and more.


A dirt bike trials demonstration held in Revelstoke last September has led to a full trials race here in June. Alex Cooper/Revelstoke Times Review file photo

Donald Robichaud Jr. is all smiles as he holds up the $280 he earned for winning the Revelstoke Rotary Club hockey pool. The eight-year-old hockey fan finished in a tie for first place with Regan Roney, but he won on a tie-breaker. Robichaud didn’t get any help from dad either — he made all his own picks. He said he will be putting $200 into a savings account so he can buy a car when he turns 16, and the rest he’ll spend on toys, “probably Lego.” Alex Cooper/Revelstoke Times Review

First annual Revelstoke hill climb

Revelstoke Mountain Resort played host to the first in what is hoped to become an annual snowmobile hill climb race. The Western Canadian Hill Cross Association, which is organized by a group called Motorfirst, was at the resort over the weekend to put on the event, which was attended by about 50 riders.The climb consisted of a jump into a big berm, followed by an uphill slalom course. Sledders competed in several categories depending on the power of their engines and whether their rides were stock or modified. The event was only confirmed four days ahead of time, and as a result, there was little time for promotion and few people in attendance to watch the show. Rob Elliott, the general manager of RMR, said they hope to bring it back next year, with more time to promote it.Results weren’t available as of press time. They will be posted to www.revelstoketimesreview.com as soon as we receive them.

BCTF strike action starts this week

VICTORIA – After rejecting an offer from the school district bar-gaining agency for a long-term contract, the B.C. Teachers' Fed-eration has served notice it will begin work-to-rule action April 23.

BCTF president Jim Iker announced Thursday that 72-hour notice has been given, after union members voted 89 per cent in March to endorse a three-stage strike plan. Phase one includes refusing communication with school managers, arriving no more than an hour before and leaving an hour after school hours, and refus-ing supervision of students outside class time.

It does not affect pre-arranged voluntary activities such as coach-ing, but the refusal of supervi-

sion requires essential service lev-els that compel some teachers to assure the safety of students while they are out of classes. Report card preparation and parent meetings will continue.

Iker said progress at the bar-gaining table will determine how long phase one action would last.

Phase two of the BCTF plan is rotating one-day walkouts in dis-tricts around the province. Phase three, a full-scale strike, would require a second vote by members to authorize.

The BCTF has rejected the gov-ernment's offer for a 10-year agree-ment with pay increases totalling 6.5% over the first six years and additional wage increases to be negotiated for the final four years.

There has been little change to the "lowball offer" on wages and no movement on the long-running

dispute over class size limits and special needs support, Iker said.

BCTF negotiators countered with a three-year proposal with three per cent plus a cost-of-living increase in each year. With com-pounding and current estimates of inflation, BCPSEA calculates that could amount to 13.5 per cent over three years.

Iker said school districts are cutting staff and programs due to ministry budget cuts, and the min-istry should at least cover school districts' costs for increase medical services plan premiums and BC Hydro rate increases.

The education ministry says per-pupil funding has increased 38 per cent since 2001, and the minis-try has provided $225 million over three years to hire 500 teachers and 400 new special education assis-tants for the 2012-13 school year.

The second step would be to prepare the actual RFP. That would involve determining the amount of biomass avail-able and the amount required for a plant. In a report to coun-cil, Christie wrote this is a key element. “A good supply of low cost biomass could solicit a large number of respondents,” he wrote.

The RFP would also indicate what projects are being consid-ered, the market potential, tech-nical feasibility, and the eco-nomic benefits and incentives.

Geoff Battersby, the chair of both the Revelstoke Community Energy Corporation and Revel-stoke Community Forestry Cor-poration, said there is interest in

the community to pursue a bio-energy plant. He said he is tak-ing the day-to-day lead on rep-resenting the city’s interest with the proposal.

“It’s got implications for RCEC, RCFC and Downie,” he said. “Basically what we’re going to do is research emerg-ing technology, or technol-ogy that looks really promis-ing, or technology that’s actu-ally proven to see if any of them would best suit Revelstoke’s sit-uation.”

Batterby said Downie Timber produces about 100,000 tonnes a year of wood waste, and that 40 per cent of RCFC’s logs go to pulp mills, which pay very little for them.

“If there’s an alternative for our wood residue, that would be

very nice,” he said. Those numbers don’t include

the wood that is left behind in slash piles in the bush.

Christie believes there is enough wood waste available in Revelstoke to make a bio-energy plant feasible. He said it could produce up to 18 mil-lion litres of liquid fuel per year and employ 50–60 people year-round. The finished prod-uct could then be sold wherever there is demand for it.

“Green diesel is in high demand so there’s good investor opportunities there. I expect to see some real interest,” he said. “City’s like Revelstoke have a real energy resource and that’s what I’ve been telling people — helping them to understand it’s quite a viable resource.”

Consultant: Amount of wood waste makes Revelstoke good candidate for bioenergyBioenergy, from page 1

A pilot plant that converts wood waste to diesel fuel opened in Austria in 2012. A consultant believes Revelstoke would make a good home for such a facility.

Dean Eadie, a partime resident of Revelstoke, returned earlier this month to work on the feature film Mountain Men by producer Jason James and director Cam Labine, and starring Tyler Labine and Chase Crawford.

Eadie was asked to come and be featured in mul-tiple secnes. You can catch him in one of the scenes filmed at the Frontier Restautaunt, owned by Matt Singh who "makes one hell of a broscht," he said. Eadie also recruited two lead actresses Jill Maria Robinson and Melissa Heffernan from the show he's on to volunteer for a local charity called Partners for Others run by Ray Brosseuk, from the TV show Gold Rush.

Eadie is a part of a project filmed in Calgary called Go Fish by Ghazal Alnahas. The show has been airing since December 2013 and is still cur-rently airing on Shaw TV channel 10 in Calgary and Kamloops mutliple times a week. As well you can stream it on livestream.com

"I happily came back to Revelstoke to support this Canadian produced project and to scout loca-tions for my own project I have in development, about a character from here,” said Eadie. “I want to include some of the local talent and locations to help

publicize my home town."You can check out the details of the show Go

Fish, in which Dean Eadie plays multiple characters in the first sitcom shot and produced in Calgary to air.

Good luck to this small town boy working his way up to the big screen.
