With Enbridge executive vice-presi-dent Janet Holder in the crowd, Premier Christy Clark told a Chamber of Com-merce luncheon Friday that approval of the proposed Northern Gateway pipeline is not just about the province receiving more money from the project.

Those conditions are: Successful com-pletion of the environmental review process, world-leading marine oil spill prevention, response and recovery systems, world-leading practices for land oil spill prevention, response and recovery systems, legal requirements regarding Aboriginal and treaty rights are addressed, and British Columbia receives a fair share of the fiscal and economic benefit

Joint Review Panel hearings got underway yesterday in Prince George.

Clark also reiterated the importance of small business to the economic health of the province when she spoke during a Chamber luncheon in the city last week.

Making British Columbia the eco-nomic engine of the country was the focus of the B.C. jobs plan, introduced by the Liberals about a year ago. Clark added this means supporting busi-nesses, both large and small.

“What can we do to support families?” she asked. “We can support a thriving private sector. We want to be number one in economic growth because that is where the future is at for our kids.”

She added that small businesses add more than economic support to the province. They also help bind communi-ties together. Local small businesses do everything from support sports teams to help raise funds for charities.

“That is the thing about small busi-nesses. They contribute to building communities.”

Clark, who recently returned from a

trip where she spoke at the University of Calgary, said that in the 90s Cana-dians flocked to Alberta looking for employment. With $80 billion in proj-ects, trade with China up 25 per cent over last year and the mining industry growing by 20 per cent in the same time frame, she said she invited students at the university to come west instead.

Other steps she said government has taken to create more jobs and make life more affordable for families include cut-

ting the proposed hydro increase in half and investing in skills training.

A $75 million investment in skills training programs will help ensure B.C. kids are first in line for the one million jobs expected to open in the next 10 years.

“And we are holding the line on taxes. B.C. has the lowest personal income tax out of every province in the country. Take that Alison Redford,” she said.

Clark also spoke glowingly about

Prince George, saying it is a different city than it was a decade ago, with a expanding airport, upgrades at the col-lege, a university, cancer centre and a northern medical program. She added that, for the first time since statistics on employment was collected, the city has over 52,000 people working.

“And in 2015 you have a chance to show this great city off to every citizen in Canada at the Canada Winter Games,” she said.

The joint review panel on the Northern Gateway Alliance pipeline will spend the next three seeks in Prince George dur-ing the final hear-ing stage for the project. In the city talks will revolve around the safety and integrity of the pipeline, its socio-economic impacts as well as emer-gency response plans.

Earlier, in Edmonton, the final hearings revolved around the economics of the project. In Prince Rupert the discussions will revolve around marine issues.

“This is a chance for not only the JRP but the public to hear the facts and all the sciene behind it as well as the years of envi-ronmental testing and engineering that’s gone into the process,” Tod Nogier, manager of corporate and western access communications for Enbridge, said. “We’ve been look-ing forward to this for some time.”

C o m m u n i t y meetings were on-going from January through August, he said.

“Then in Sep-tember we started the final hearing stage,” he said. “This is a chance to get the facts out there. It is an important proj-ect, not only for provinces of B.C. and Alberta, but the country as a whole.”


Todd Nogier, manager of corporate and west-ern access communications for Enbridge, said the Northern Gateway Alliance pipeline will cause a negligible gas rise at the pump, if it causes an increase at all.

Robyn Allan, a leading economist who recently visited the city, who said consumers would see a three cent increase in the price every year at the pump for 30 years, is mistaken.

“That’s not correct at all,” Nogier said. “I believe she’s basing her analysis of the rise in gas prices on what she says is a $2 to $3 per barrel rise in oil prices for each year of the project. Our application states the amount of rise will be a $2 to $3 per barrel rise in total.”

He said clearly a total rise of $2 to $3 per barrel for the project would produce different numbers than a similar rise every year.

“There will be a negligible affect, if any affect at all on retail gas prices,” he said.

He added that Enbridge is already considering transporting oil into eastern Canada, a sugges-tion Allan made during her lecture.

“Enbridge has an application with the regula-tory body to reverse the line so we can transport mostly light sweet crude into eastern Canada, so we are pursuing that very thing. The other aspect of that is you still need to be able to provide is

a diversity of products for our oil,” Nogier said, add-ing Canada needs to look beyond the States for a trad-ing partner.

“The demand in the States is flat or decreasing,” he said. “The US has increased domestic oil production sig-nificantly because of techno-logical advances.”

Nogier said that in 2011 the value of the oil Canada exported was $67 billion.

“It is our most valuable export,” he said. “We can increase that value by diver-sifying our markets.”

The Northern Gateway pipeline is a twin system so it imports condensate and exports oil. Condensate dilutes the bitumen, which otherwise cannot move through a pipeline because of its density. During her stay in the city, Allan said adding the expensive condensate, much of which is imported, made the pipeline less economically viable. However, Nogier argues that the condensate is a requirement within the industry anyway, and moving it through the

pipeline gives producers more options.

“It enables producers,” he said. “It gives them more ‘optionality’ to be able to source the condensate from more mar-kets.”

He said the economic benefits of the pipeline to not only the province, but the entire country, are vast.

“This is going to be a tremen-dous generator of economic development,” Nogier said. “There will be 3,000 jobs filled at the peak of construction.”

He added they’ve commit-ted to ensuring 15 per cent of those hired are First Nations. In the end, about 1,000 permanent jobs will be created.

“Suggestions are being made to try and divert people’s attention from the reality. Our experts have analysed the eco-

nomic benefit.”He said $800 million alone will be spent in

northern communities along the right-of-way for the pipeline.

“The facts are this is going to be a big driver of the economy going forward,” Nogier said.

The province is still leading the way in job production with Prince George continuing to thrive, beating its own sta-tistics on the number of people employed in the city.

“We had another reasonably good month this month,” MLA Pat Bell, Minis-ter of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training.”

He said the prov-ince added another 5,700 new jobs, all full-time positions.

“Since we rolled out jobs plan, B.C.

created 57,400 jobs,” he said.

He added that makes the province the number one job creator in all of Canada in the same 13-month period.

“Certainly our government has demonstrated its commitment to find-ing a way to have the most robust econ-omy we can possibly have,” Bell said.

The jobs were added in a variety of sectors like forestry, mining and natural gas (900 positions), agriculture (3,700),

construction (5,500), accommodation and food (7,100) and education (11,300).

“I think educa-tional services is a reflection of the international educa-tion expansion we’re seeing in B.C,” Bells said. “A majority of areas where we’ve seen growth are jobs plans areas of focus, like forestry, mining and natural gas, agri-culture, education, accommodation and food services, and certainly transpor-tation continues to do well. We’re really

seeing the bulk of jobs in regional economies.”

Prince George added 700 jobs.

“That’s another new record. Prince George has never had that level of job activity. In fact, if you go to the 1990s, typically Prince George was at about 44,000 to 45,000 jobs. We’ve seen good strong solid growth in regional econo-mies. I think that’s a real reflection of our efforts to build the regional economies across the province.

The University of Northern British Columbia’s Community Development Institute (CDI) got a $50,000 grant from the provincial government last week to help the organization renew its vision so it remains viable and sustainable well into the future.

A news release on the funding announcement says the CDI will provide the government of B.C. with information on topics such as economic as social development, workforce needs and trends effecting northern communities. Access to comprehensive and current data will also be provided valuable insight into northern housing markets.

Several dignitaries were on-hand to share the organizations good news during a formal news conference last week, including MLA Shirley Bond, the province’s attorney general, said she is proud of the work being done at the university, which has many gifts, adding of of those is the CDI.

She said she knows the money will be well-used, helping communities diversify and find affordable housing.

“How can we create the types of housing these small rural communities need? I know this money will be well-spent.”

UNBC president, George Iwama, said it was the CDI that helped Kitimat when a major indus-try closed in that town. When Mackenzie suf-fered a similar closure, Kitimat was able to share tools developed by the CDI to help.

“They were there for us when we needed it most,” said Mayor Stephanie Kil-lam from the District of Mackenzie.

CDI director, Greg Halseth, who has been the director of the CDI since it was established, said now the funding has come through it’s time to get to work.

“Now let’s get to work on a long term vision,” he said.

Marleen Morris, the CDI’s associate director, said thus far the organization has accumulated $230,000 thus far in funding to attain its goal.

The University of Northern British Columbia’s Community Development Institute (CDI) got a $50,000 grant from the provincial government last week to help the organization renew its vision so it remains viable and sustainable well into the future.

A news release on the funding announcement says the CDI will provide the government of B.C. with information on topics such as economic as social development, workforce needs and trends effecting northern communities. Access to comprehensive and current data will also be provided valuable insight into northern housing markets.

Several dignitaries were on-hand to share the organizations good news during a formal news conference last week, including MLA Shirley Bond, the province’s attorney general, said she is proud of the work being done at the university, which has many gifts, adding of of those is the CDI.

She said she knows the money will be well-used, helping communities diversify and find affordable housing.

“How can we create the types of housing these small rural communities need? I know this money will be well-spent.”

UNBC president, George Iwama, said it was the CDI that helped Kitimat when a major indus-try closed in that town. When Mackenzie suf-fered a similar closure, Kitimat was able to share tools developed by the CDI to help.

“They were there for us when we needed it most,” said Mayor Stephanie Kil-lam from the District of Mackenzie.

CDI director, Greg Halseth, who has been the director of the CDI since it was established, said now the funding has come through it’s time to get to work.

“Now let’s get to work on a long term vision,” he said.

Marleen Morris, the CDI’s associate director, said thus far the organization has accumulated $230,000 thus far in funding to attain its goal.

The Prince George Farmers’ Market has a new home and October 20 is the grand opening of the market’s new indoor location on Sixth Avenue, behind the Keg Restaurant near Ohh Chocolat and City Hall.

The Farmers; Market celebrates with live music entertainment, free pumpkins for the kids, and a draw of a market basket valued at $200.

You will find more than 25 vendors offering local meats from bison and chicken to prime beef, pet food and pet products, sweet baked goods, fair trade coffee, prepared hot food, fresh greens, veggies, artisan breads, eggs, jams and jellies, honey, perogies and more plus arts and crafts, jewellery, knitting & sewing, and tooled leather.

The Market is open year round, every Satur-day from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.

In May the Prince George Farmers’ Market lost its indoor location at the corner of Third Avenue and George Street. The displaced indoor vendors have participated in the 2012 seasonal outdoor market and have searched for a new indoor home for the 2012/2013 season. The City of Prince George has stepped in and has offered the building on 1074 Sixth Avenue behind the Keg Restaurant.

During the summer months Farmers’ Market volunteers have undertaken renovations to the building and are now ready to serve its cus-tomers every Saturday, throughout the winter months, all year round, from its new location. Visitors will find over 25 indoor vendors offer-ing local arts and crafts and a wide range of food items including meats, vegetables, jams & jellies, preserves, perogies, eggs, and baked goods.

After the last outdoor market of the season on October 13, the new indoor location will open on Saturday, October 20 at 8:30 a.m.

All products at the Prince George Farmers’ Market are made, baked, or grown locally. Visi-tors will find freshly brewed coffee, a place to sit down and chat with friends, or have a hot lunch prepared by Spicy Greens.

There are a pair of new exhibits opening this week at Two Rivers Gallery.

Prina Granirer: The Whisper of Stones is a col-lection of mixed media works by Granirer. The gallery has a series of Granirer works from the 1980s and 90s, and this new exhibit will flesh out the older work.

Granirer found an abandoned millstone quarry on Gabriola Island some years ago. It was a source of grindstones for the pulp and paper industry in the 1930s. Granirer created a series called The Carved Stones, which explored the often surreal landscape created by the mining and later abandonment of the quarry.

Now, she has revisited and initiated new work based on the previous series.

Granirer is scheduled to present an artist’s talk on the exhibit on Oct. 11, starting at 7:30 p.m. The event is free to all.

The second exhibit which opens this week is an annual one of works from the Permanent Collection of the gallery. Titled Transformers: Art to Shape Our World, it allows the gallery to showcase of the new works acquired by the gallery, most of which are donations by artists who have exhibited at Two Rivers. The exhibit forms a fascinating journey through the variety of projects hosted.

Transformers: Art to Shape Our World is also open for free viewing on Oct. 11.

Both shows run until Jan. 6 during regular gal-lery hours.

Nove Voce will open the 2012-13 concert sea-son with a gift from a guest.

One of two Prince George composers featured in the Oct. 27 concert is PGSO concert master Juan Delgado-Guevara. He was a special guest with the all-women choir last year, and wrote Morning, Noon and Parting Hug – a song cycle – after that concert.

As well, Nova Voce will be presenting V’la L’Bon Vent by former Prince George resident Alison Girvan.

The concert is titled Changing Tides: A Musi-cal Voyage, and will also feature folk music from a variety of sources, including The Skye Boat Song, Loch Lomond and Ah! Si Mon Moine Vou-lait Danser. The choir will also take the oppor-tunity to show how traditional folk music has influenced more modern songs, such as Celtic Woman’s Winter, Fire and Snow.

Nove Voce will be joined by a number of guests for the concert, including Maureen Nielsen on piano, Sebastian Ostertag on cello, Anna Scar-pino on flute, and Noelani Jung on percussion.

Tickets for Changing Tides: A Music Voyage are $15 and can be purchased at Studio 2880 or at the door. The concert is Oct. 27, starting at 8 p.m. at The Prince George Playhouse.

It’s more than a pipeline.

Tankers will reduce speeds in the channels…Tankers travel slowly, but to make sure that marine species and their habitats are respected, tankers will be required to reduce speed as they pass through certain sections of the channels. Even their escort tugboats will have quieter engines to reduce underwater noise.

Additional radar and navigational aids will improve safety for all vessels…For increased safety and sure guidance, additional radar systems and navigational

aids, such as beacons, buoys and lights, will be installed throughout the routes. This will not

only improve safety for tankers, but for all marine traffi c on the north coast.

Discover more about our rigorous marine safety plan and join the conversation at marine.northerngateway.ca.

Although tankers have been safely navigating the north coast and its channels for decades, marine safety remains a top priority for British Columbians. We have been planning the Northern Gateway Project for over a decade, with a particular focus on protecting the environment. We have added specifi c safety requirements to our marine operations plan to help

make the waters of the north coast safer not just for tankers serving the project, but for all marine vessels.

Qualifi ed BC Coast Pilots will board and guide all tankers… To prevent spills, all tankers

serving the project will be modern and double-hulled, and will be vetted

by independent, third party agencies before entering Canadian waters.

Once strict safety and environmental standards

are met, they will be guided through the Douglas and Principe Channels by qualifi ed BC Coast Pilots.

Powerful tugboats will escort tankers…Tugboats have been shown to signifi cantly reduce tanker incidents worldwide. Powerful tugboats that have

been specially commissioned for Northern Gateway will assist in the

safe arrival and departure of tankers. All tankers will be attended by a close escort tug. In the channels, laden tankers will have two tugs–one tethered at all times. These tugboats will

have emergency response equipment on board and will be capable of assisting any marine vessel.

It’s a path to delivering energy safely.
