DESCRIPTION
September 30, 2015 edition of the Williams Lake TribuneTRANSCRIPT
Todd Doherty’s campaign schedule was set in June, which has resulted in him not being able to attend some all candi-dates forums, he says.
The Cariboo-Prince George Conservative candidate has come under fire for missing two all candidates forums so far … the Stand Up for the North forum in Prince George and a
Council of Canadians forum in Williams Lake last week. Prince George-Peace River Conserva-tive candidate Bob Zimmer also did not attend the Prince George forum, which was for both rid-ings.
“There are debates that we have been unable to attend due to scheduling conflicts,” Doherty posted on his Facebook page after the Williams Lake forum. “This is no more an indication of our unwillingness to attend,
rather it is a statement of our commitment to ensure to meet as many of our regional families in settings that are more com-fortable and accessible to them.”
All five of the other candidates in the riding — New Democrat Trent Derrick, Liberal Tracy Ca-logheros, independent Sheldon Clare, Green Richard Jaques, and Christian Heritage Party candidate Adam De Kroon — have attended the two forums Doherty has missed.
Doherty says he will be at-tending forums in Vanderhoof on Oct. 2, Quesnel Oct. 6, Prince George Oct. 8 and 13, and Wil-liams Lake Oct. 15.
That means he will miss at least two more forums, a CBC forum Sept. 30 in Prince George and a second Stand Up For a The North forum Oct. 7.
Conservative candidates across the country are coming under fire for choosing not to at-tend all candidate forums.

Williams Lake RCMP are investigat-ing a string of attacks on area Canada Post mailboxes.
Staff Sgt. Del Byron said the first incident occurred at a mailbox on Belleview Drive, a highway frontage road
in the Lexington subdi-vision, Thursday, Sept. 17 at 10:34 p.m.
Byron said locks were damaged and some mailboxes were opened.
The next incident of mailbox tampering was reported Sunday morn-ing on Sept. 27 at neigh-bouring Lexington Road where mailboxes had either been opened
or had pry marks.The third incident
also occurred on Sun-day morning, this time north of town, near the Nenquanyi Wellness Centre where a pile of mail was discovered.
Anyone with infor-mation regarding these incidents is asked to contact the Williams Lake RCMP.
Five of the six can-didates in the Cariboo Prince George rid-ing squared off at a standing-room only all-candidates debate at Thompson Rivers University Thursday night.
Missing was Con-servative candidate Todd Doherty whose campaign office told the Tribune earlier in the week he would not be attending.
During the evening many people said they were disappointed Doherty chose not to participate.
“It is really unfor-tunate that the Con-
servative candidate wasn’t there,” said Pe-ter Smith of the Wil-liams Lake Chapter of the Council of Ca-nadians who helped organize the eve-ning. “The depth of answers, the quality of the discussion and the respectfulness shown by all the candidates was terrific.”
About 125 people attended the forum.
Questions from the floor came without hesitation and ranged from climate change, proportional repre-sentation and sen-ate reform, to seniors care, education and health for First Na-tions, how to engage youth to vote and the
long gun registry, and more.
Each candidate had an opportunity to an-swer the questions, and often moderator Dr. Ray Sanders of TRU offered them a chance to make a re-buttal.
When Mary Forbes asked if any of the candidates would be brave enough to with-draw from the ballot if there was one leading candidate that would stop Stephen Harper and the Conservatives “in their tracks,” she received the largest applause from the au-dience.
Responding Inde-pendent candidate Sheldon Clare said
it is wrong-headed for people to be vot-ing against something they want to keep out.
“If we keep vot-ing the same way we always have we’re al-ways going to get the same results, that’s the problem,” Clare said, adding he was the best choice if people want to bring change to the region.
All five candidates confirmed they would not withdraw from the race.
The poverty of Canada’s seniors is a focus of the NDP, said candidate Trent Derrick when senior Ollie Martens asked what the government can do for her demo-
graphic.“We want to in-
crease the transfer payments to medi-care... and bring all provinces to a level playing field,” Derrick said. “We also want to invest in care-aids to help seniors stay at home longer.”
Green Party candi-date Richard Jaques said his party is push-ing to get rid of uni-versity tuition.
He also said the Green Party would cut the Prime Minis-ter’s budget by 50 per cent or $5 million to have money for other programs.
Probably the most controversial state-ment of the night
came from 23-year-old Christian Heritage Party candidate Adam De Kroon responding to a question posed by Tim Tymchuk about the long gun registry.
De Kroon assured Tymchuk he would oppose any gun legis-lation and would sup-port moving in a di-rection for even more gun freedoms, includ-ing perhaps even con-cealed carry of hand-guns.
In her closing re-marks, Liberal candi-date Tracy Calogheros told the audience there is a lot of cohesive-ness at the candidates’ table.
“One of the things we agree with is that
you have a big decision to make as to who is going to represent you in Ottawa that you’re going to trust to build consensus and take that forward,” Calo-gheros said. “We can’t blame Ottawa for not listening to us if we don’t send someone there to tell them what we think.”
A second forum is slated for Thursday, Oct. 15 at the Pioneer Complex at 6:30 p.m. It is free to the public and anyone with ques-tions is encouraged to drop them off at the Chamber of Com-merce office at the Tourism Discovery Centre or e-mail them to [email protected].

Police investigate mailbox tampering
Search continues for missing man
Police are continu-ing to investigate the disappearance of a Williams Lake man who went missing Sept. 24.
Staff Sgt. Del By-ron said members of the RCMP conducted ground, air and water
searches in an effort to locate 49-year-old Lonnie Widdoes.
Widdoes’ truck was found in the Sheep Creek Bridge area late in the day Thursday after he was reported missing by his family.
Central Cariboo
Search and Rescue also assisted in the search.
Police are asking anyone who has any information regarding Widdoes’ whereabouts to contact the Wil-liams Lake RCMP at 250-392-6211.
B.C. teachers switching to the edu-cation ministry’s new curriculum this year will use 10 hours of classroom time to train on it.
Education Minis-ter Mike Bernier an-nounced the training plan Monday at the B.C. legislature, with teacher, trustee and parent representatives alongside. Bernier said training the first 2,000 teachers to de-liver the new curricu-lum this year will cost $1 million and take the equivalent of two
teaching days.It’s up to local
school districts to de-cide how that time is organized, but it may mean extra non-instructional days or parts of days when students would be sent home early.
The new curriculum is being piloted this year for Kindergarten through Grade 9 and will become mandato-ry across the province starting next fall. Cur-riculum updates for the higher grades are still in development.
For the next two years, teachers across B.C. will use one of their current profes-
sional development days for curriculum training and an ad-ditional five hours, the equivalent of one classroom day, will also be devoted to the new curriculum.
Bernier confirmed that the program is be-ing implemented with-in existing budgets. The additional $1 million this year is to fund teacher training seminars and travel costs for rural teach-ers where the training isn’t offered in their home districts.
The training plan was announced with representatives of the B.C. Teachers’ Feder-ation, the B.C. School Trustees’ Association, superintendents, prin-
cipals and vice-princi-pals, parent advisory councils, independent schools, and the First Nations Steering Committee.
BCSTA president Teresa Rezansoff said school boards will de-cide how to structure the training to “best meet the needs of teachers while mini-mizing any impact on student learning time.”
Bernier says the new curriculum em-phasizes “hands on” learning and more flexibility for individ-ualized studies. Two areas of emphasis are environmental educa-tion and an enhanced aboriginal perspective in every subject.
City council will make a decision next week on a develop-ment variance permit application for a pro-posed six-lot develop-ment at 18 Woodland Drive.
The developer MacPine Develop-ment Ltd. is asking for variances on road
width, permission to put hydro and tele-phone cables above ground, street lighting on hydro poles and to allow for storm sewer drainage at ditch lev-el, rather than under-ground.
Letters about the ap-plication have gone out to property owners and residents living in the neighbourhood, giving them an opportunity
to speak in favour or against the issuance of the permit.
“So far we have re-ceived one written response,” said Leah Hartley, the city’s di-rector of development services Monday.
“They usually start coming in the week be-fore the council meet-ing which takes place next Tuesday, Oct. 6.”
Hartley said the pro-
ponents have reduced the development from seven lots to six, elimi-nating the reduction of frontage and setbacks required in the original application.
A copy of the pro-posed permit and rel-evant background documents may be in-spected between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday to Friday, un-til Oct. 6 at city hall.

Variance requested for Woodland Drive development
Curriculum training cuts into teaching time
Clayton Stoner is facing five charges un-der the Wildlife Act for a spring grizzly bear hunt near Bella Coola in 2013.
Stoner, who was the subject of intense scrutiny after a leaked photo showed the hockey star holding the severed head and paws of a five-year old grizzly he shot in Kwatna, is now facing two counts of know-ingly making a false statement to obtain a licence, hunting with-out a licence, hunting out of season and un-lawful possession of dead wildlife.
All five charges re-late to the accusation that Stoner could not have been considered a resident of B.C., as was required by his permit to shoot the bear, because his main residence would have been the U.S. city where he lived as part of his NHL career.
Stoner, who now plays for the Anaheim Ducks, is accused of falsely claiming to be a B.C. resident when he applied for the licence, according to Det. Sgt. Cynthia Mann with the Conservation Of-ficer Service.
“At the time Mr. Stoner was playing for the Minnesota Wild hockey team so the question of his B.C. residence initiated an investigation,” said Mann.
According to the B.C. Wildlife Act, res-ident means a person who is a Canadian citizen or a perma-nent resident, whose primary residence is in B.C., and has been physically present in B.C. for the greater portion of each of six out of the 12 months immediately preced-ing making an appli-cation.
Stoner was also the subject of a documen-tary film released by the Coastal First Na-tions entitled Bears Forever, which de-tailed the shooting of
the bear, nicknamed “Cheeky” by the Guardian Watchmen of the area.
The area also falls under the tradition-al territory of the Coastal First Nations, who issued a ban on all trophy hunting in their region in 2012.
Jessie Housty, who is a councillor with the Heiltsuk Nation, told regional media
that while they wel-comed the charges, they would rather the province ban trophy hunting altogether.
“I think it’s positive in the sense that I hope it makes trophy hunt-ers aware that they’re being policed and that they’re being held to a very high standard,” said Housty. “How-ever, it is still legal for them to do this under
law and you could just as easily read the situation as an op-portunity to learn from Clayton Stoner’s mistakes and keep their nose clean when they’re practis-ing their own trophy hunting. In that sense, it’s not really a win for us.”
Critics of the tro-phy hunt have long ar-gued that government science is inaccurate and that the practice should be banned for a number of rea-sons, including the assertion from First Nations leaders that their indigenous laws should be respected.
Oct. 1 will mark the opening of B.C.’s con-troversial grizzly bear hunt and Central and North Coast First Na-tions are saying they will step up their ac-tions against hunters found in their terri-tory.
The B.C. govern-ment authorized 3,469 grizzly bear tags in 2015, up from 3,067 in
2014 but down from 3,786 in 2013. On av-erage, hunters have killed about 270 griz-zly bears in British Columbia every year since 2010. The prov-ince estimates there to be 15,000 grizzlies in British Columbia – about a quarter of the entire North Ameri-can population.
Douglass Neasloss, Chief Councillor of the Kitasoo-Xaixais, believes that both the government’s scientif-ic and economic mod-eling is flawed and that there is no way to sustainably or ethi-cally support a grizzly bear hunt in the Great Bear Rainforest, or anywhere else for that matter.
Neasloss said that all aspects of the griz-zly bear hunt are in complete opposition to his community’s culture, and that the Coastal Guardian Watchmen will be stepping up their pa-trols to ensure hunters get the message.

There is no denying the importance of small business to B.C.’s economy.
Small businesses are the heart and soul of our communities. They support families and keep local economies strong. The owners include parents, coaches and volun-teers in Williams Lake who make a difference every day.
In Williams Lake, three organizations are specifically geared to assist small businesses — the Williams Lake and District Chamber of Commerce, the Williams Lake Central Business Improvement Association (BIA) and Community Futures Cariboo Chilcotin.
All are vitally important resources for the business community. The Chamber of Com-merce is the voice of business in Williams Lake.
When a business joins the Chamber, they learn about current govern-ment issues that affect business, and can add their voice
to the Chamber’s efforts to address them.It is also important for entrepreneurs to
know that the Chamber can support them on issues that concern their business.
Every year, the Williams Lake Chamber presents its Business Excellence Awards, which recognize the accomplishments and successes of local businesses. For more information go to www.williamslakechamber.com.
The Williams Lake BIA is a key resource for downtown businesses. It was created by local merchants with the aim of revitalizing and promoting the downtown core. It is also a lobby group and a networking organization.
A partnership between the BIA and the City of Williams Lake led to the development of the Community Corner Building and the restoration of Court House Square, to name two examples of how collaboration has result-ed in a stronger community. The BIA’s website is at www.wlcbia.com.
Community Futures Cariboo Chilcotin of-fers support and services to rural small- and medium-sized business owners. For details go to www.cfdccariboo.com.
Small business owners help build strong local economies, and a strong B.C. economy ensures that Williams Lake and communities throughout our province remain vibrant.

History repeats itself
Bad news first. Once again Williams Lake ranks low on a survey.
This time we are the second worst city in Canada for livability, according to the Windsor Star. The magazine Money Sense has ranked us second least livable a number of times. It could be worse. Since the federal government eliminated the long census form, Stats Canada has dropped some entire communities. We’re still on the list of top crime cities too. Sigh.
***I was looking through some 1930s and
40s newspaper stories recently and some of the issues from back then are still with us, like wolves killing domestic stock, forest
fires, even refu-gees, only then the refugees were orphaned English children.
History really does repeat itself. Columnist Rafe
Mair wrote recently that as an older person, he’s faced most of today’s issues before. Me too. I’ve survived government deficits and surpluses and a few balanced budgets along with government overspending, cutbacks and corrupt politicians. I’ve lived through prosperous times, recessions, even a depres-sion as well as wars, peace and whatever it is we have now. Canadian warplanes have con-ducted 29 air strikes against Islamic State positions and units the last update on July 9. Isn’t that war?
I’ve also been through a lot of elections and each is different. This time around many issues aren’t getting much attention, like climate change and reconciliation with First Nations. Former BC Liberal Attorney General Geoff Plant was referring to the latter when he said there was a “failed ethic of denial” but that could apply to the atti-tude many politicians have on a number of things, like climate change.
Then there are the red herrings, like the foofaraw over Muslim women’s headgear. Do we really want to lose our religious free-doms along freedom of speech and assem-bly as threatened under Bill C-51? And if it’s a woman’s issue, what about an inquiry into the hundreds of missing and murdered al women, 70 per cent of them aboriginal?

Small business is heart and soul
Our Viewpoint
Show compassionThe debate around how to help Syrian
refugees, fleeing a vicious civil war and ex-panding Islamic State terrorism, has be-come something of a political football in Canada. It’s to be expected that various parties during the election would make var-ious claims on the best approach.
But this is beyond politics. The publi-cation of the photo that went around the world — that of three-year-old Syrian refu-gee Alan Kurdi — is ample evidence of that.
Canadians are compassionate people and there is ample precedent for helping those in need. We need only recall when in the 1980s thousands of Vietnamese “boat people” were taken in by this country.
Compassion has to supersede politics in this matter but other questions arise of Ca-nadians wanting to respond.
While dramatic and serious events like the Syrian crisis are few and far between, there is no lack of other events seeking our charitable response.
It’s important to analyze how useful and effective such charitable “trends” are, often spurred on by heart-wrenching photos, and where they go after the outrage dies down and the public moves on to the next hot is-sue.
We can look beyond the migrant crisis in Europe to any number of countries that would benefit from the aid and compassion of Canadians. And it is right and good that we continue to do what we can.
And for every trendy hashtag and its ac-companying global outrage, there are local issues which, perhaps at times lacking the same profile, still need our attention.
The status of refugees, and Canada’s re-sponsibility in assisting them, is deservedly in the spotlight. And local organizations that are doing their part deserve our acco-lades, especially as most of them were do-ing the hard work to support refugees for years before it became a trendy issue.

Question of the weekShouldn’t all candidates forum include everyone?
Editor:
I attended the all candidates forum at Thompson Rivers University last night and was shocked to see an empty chair that should have been occu-pied by the Conservative can-didate.
I have been told that is part of the Conservative Party’s election strategy and has hap-pened in other locations.
It appears to be a desper-ate attempt to cling to power at any cost and shows a lack
of respect for the democratic process.
I realized that the incum-bent is always a target at any public forum and it could be uncomfortable but that goes with the job.
Conservative candidates should be able to stand up in public and defend their gov-ernment’s record.
It is hard to respect a party that is not prepared to engage with the public and debate is-sues with other candidates.
I guess they are confident
their core supporters will con-tinue to vote Conservative out of habit and/or fear of change and, due to that, due to our flawed electoral system, this will result in another false mi-nority government leading the country.
It will be disappointing if they are proven right and we are subjected to an extension of what I refer to as the tyr-anny of the largest minority.

Thanks to all who made Cariboo Wounded Warriors possible
Editor:
Re: Cariboo Wounded War-riors 2015.
I would like to thank Greg Sabatino for his coverage of our event last Sunday and his thoughtful and respectful inter-views of our veterans.
I will apply one of the highest compliments that can be given to a ‘media-type’ by a military personnel: ‘He gets it.’ Thanks, Greg.
Cariboo Wounded Warriors 2015 is a wrap. Williams Lake
hosted another event that left the attendees astounded at the level of hospitality they had re-ceived.
As the chair of our very small committee, of course I receive a lot of attention, but the truth is Williams Lake people bought into this righteous venture.
They are the ones who should be recognized and celebrated.
First, it’s great to have a vi-sion, but it takes the ‘detail peo-ple’ to make it happen success-fully: Georgette Rosk, Charlene Smythe, Marion Stuart and my
personal backup and detailer for the past 40 years, my amaz-ing wife, Grace.
Then comes the support of the many sponsors and sup-port organizations that actually made it happen.
A very special thank you goes to Christina of Shaw TV who could see the development of something good in the mak-ing and documented this event from inception to completion.

Halloween’s celebration of horror shamefulEditor:
Imagine this. A refugee has fi-nally accomplished her dream — escaping a war-torn country and finding sanctuary in Canada.
All she’s ever wanted is to walk down a public street without be-ing confronted with decapitated human bodies and severed limbs. No bloody handprints on the walls — no screams in the night. Wait a minute.
Let’s hope she doesn’t arrive in the month of October.
Yes, Halloween is gearing up, and our city will soon be awash with fake gore.
People will again be dig-ging into human-eyeball candy, hanging up plastic replicas of children’s mangled limbs, and staggering down the street in red-drenched rags.
Anyone who might have missed the fun will get a celebratory front-page scoop from the local newspapers.
I’m not a refugee, but my sym-pathies are with those people who have seen tragedies.
It troubles me when our culture belittles such realities into a game of thrills.
How can we expect to make any headway against humanity’s
suffering when we are comfort-able with it as a source of enter-tainment?
The argument supporting Hal-loween gore is universally, “It’s not real!” I don’t agree.
Play is simply rehearsal/prac-tice for real-life activities.
If we don’t like world events, maybe we should first re-examine our entertainment.
It’s time to shun Halloween’s celebration of horror. Be the change you want to see in the world!

Following the great success of its inaugu-ral year, The Brick is launching its second year as a partner of Children’s Miracle Network in Canada.
In its inaugural year of its partnership with Children’s Miracle Network, The Brick raised nearly $700,000 for children’s hospitals across Canada.
“The Brick is proud to be part of commu-nities across Canada and has a strong tra-dition of giving to these communities. We care about our neigh-bours — especially the youngest generation. That’s why we’re part-
nering with Children’s Miracle Network,” ex-plained Jim Caldwell, president of The Brick Group.
The Brick is intro-ducing the second edi-tion of Brickley Bear to help raise funds for the organization. One-hundred per cent of the net proceeds from the sale of Brickley Bear go to Children’s Mira-cle Network and go to support the local chil-dren’s hospital serving the community.
The Brick is also accepting donations to Children’s Miracle Network through the sale of Brickley Bear cut-outs to further sup-
port local children’s hospitals.
The Brick will be matching every dollar donated through the program from Sept. 1, 2015 to Feb. 29, 2016 up to a maximum of $100,000.
“The Brick is a great Canadian retailer which has provided value to the homes of Canadians with a team of community caring staff that made the inaugural year of our partnership a great success,” said John Hartman, Chief Oper-ating Officer, Canada, with Children’s Mira-cle Network.
“We are thrilled to
continue a partner-ship with The Brick that does have a real impact on the lives of children. We’re elated to have help from The Brick in raising funds for the equipment and research that help to save the lives of ill and injured children. Brick-ley is a good friend and role model to kids, whether they’re sick or healthy.”
Both The Brick and Children’s Miracle Network believe in keeping funds in the region where they are raised.
All proceeds from Brickley sales will go toward the Children’s Miracle Network member hospital that serves the community in which the purchase or donation was made.
“The focus of our campaign is all about ‘Helping to Improve the Lives of Children, Brick by Brick,’” noted Jim Caldwell.
“The reason we chose that name for
our campaign is that we believe that every little bit counts to-wards making a real difference to the lives of children and their families. That’s what it is all about — improv-ing lives and making a difference in our com-munities.”

What would happen if we were forced to leave our homes in an instant? If there was a forest fire in our back-yard, or water flood-ing into our home, we might not have time to get everything we thought we needed.
These unexpected disasters used to be a rarity, but we all know that they are a possibility for anyone. Hopefully it will not happen to you, but if it did, how would it af-fect your family?
One of the major issues in emergency situations is ensur-ing people have water, food, and power. Food security is being talked about a lot these days. When you think about having enough wa-ter and food for your family, do you think about what your infant might eat? A breastfed baby has food, any-time, anywhere — no water or electricity necessary.
If you are stuck on a highway behind a car accident, there’s milk.
If you get a flat tire on what was supposed to be a quick trip to pick up your other child, there’s milk. If the general store in your remote commu-nity runs out of baby formula, no need to worry about switching to a different brand or having to trek into town, you have the perfect food at the per-fect temperature.
Even if a woman is not eating much, her body will still make milk for her baby. And as the World Health
Organization recom-mends breastfeeding up to two years and beyond, breastfeeding is proven to be great nutrition, comfort, im-munity and food secu-rity for your child for as long as you are able to do it.
The good news is that women in B.C. believe in breastfeed-ing: 96 percent of new moms start breastfeed-ing, and 41 percent still feed their babies only breast milk by six months after birth.
But what happens
between the hospi-tal experience and six months later? Ac-cording to Statistics Canada 2012, the major reason Cana-dian women say they stopped breastfeeding is that they don’t have enough milk. The sec-ond most common reason is difficulty with breast feeding technique.
It makes sense that a good percentage of women would con-tinue breast feeding their baby if they had the support when they
needed it; had enough milk and had a com-fortable, effective tech-nique.
How can we make those things hap-pen? There are many friendly, supportive women in Williams Lake ready to help.
And just like the old adage “If there is a pebble in your shoe, take it out,” the trick to breastfeeding suc-cess is to get help early. Support people are available.

Louis Helbig has returned home to Wil-liams Lake to visit fam-ily and share his latest project, an aerial pho-tography study of the oil sands.
The project has re-sulted in a coffee table book titled Beautiful Destruction that was published by Rocky Mountain Books last December.
On Saturday, Oct. 3 Helbig will be giving a free presentation about the project at the Cen-tral Cariboo Arts and Culture Society Centre.
The book contains around 230 photo-graphs of the area in and around an indus-trial complex in the middle of the boreal forest in the middle of nowhere, Helbig said.
Through the pho-tographs he has tried
not to proselytize, he noted.
“The photographs have engaged people from all walks of life, for and against, and across the political spectrum.
People imagining, thinking and reflecting in their own terms, is far more powerful than me saying anything.”
The book also in-cludes essays by vari-ous contributors as
Helbig attempted to cover all aspects of the industry.
Essays come from contributors such as Chief Allan Adam of the Athabasca Chipewyan First Na-
tion, Greg Stringham, vice-president of Oil Sands Canadian As-sociation of Petroleum Producers, Gil Mc-Gown, president of the Alberta Federation of Labour and Dr. John O’Connor a physician in Wood Buffalo, Alta.
Helbig was living in Ottawa when the idea for the project began. He initially went up there in 2008, a time when you would have found little consequen-tial media coverage, he said.
That changed in 2010 when Canadian film maker James Cameron went to Fort McMurray at the invi-tation of Chief Allan Adam, he said.
Since 2011, there has been wall-to-wall coverage and stories of people from all over moving there.
“I was home visit-ing and learned that
people from Williams lake were working in Fort McMurray. It was a real cultural phenom-enon.”
His photographs de-pict Horizon, Anzac, Lake Athabasca, Ke-arl, Fort Chipewyan, Surmont, Mildred Lake, Millennium Mine, Uranium City, Firebag, McKay River, Fort Saskatchewan, Aurora North and more.
“I hope these aerial photographs do indeed lift a veil of ignorance, and that the critical reader will use his or her imagination to
discern and reflect on whose veils and whose ignorance are playing what role in the context of Canada - in this, the Canada of our time,” Helbig writes in the book.
During an exhibit of 25 of the photographs in 2010, the comment section in the guest book took on a life of its own.
“People were writ-ing to each other, even crossing comments out. It became very in-teractive, ” Helbig said. “I was both praised and called names for creating the book.”

TDC hosts book launch ThursdayCariboo author
Donna Milner is host-ing a coffee house style event this Thurs-day evening at the Tourism Discovery Centre for the launch of her latest book A Place Called Sorry.
The event takes place Thursday, Oct. 1 starting at 7 p.m.
“We are going to have an open mic where people can sing, read some poetry or prose, and join in,” says Milner.
She will share the limelight with her son, Aaron Cully Drake, who will read from his literary de-but, Do You Think This is Strange?
The story follows the journey of Freddy,
an autistic teenager. Milner describes her
new book as a family story that intersects two eras, drawn from a grandfather’s jour-nal and his grand-child’s experience dur-ing the 1930s.
Hundreds of families made their way to Horse-fly River on the week-end to see the spawning sockeye salmon and en-joy family-friendly ac-tivities to celebrate their return.
Festival goers visited info booths and displays from DFO, Scout Island Nature Centre, B.C. In-vasive Species Council, Cariboo Chilcotin In-vasive Plant Commit-tee, the Northern Shus-wap Tribal Council and Mount Polley Mines.
They also enjoyed watching fish dissec-tions and the fish cam-era, creating a Gyotaku (Japanese fish painting) cloth, painting a wooden salmon for the Stream of Dreams project, and making sparkly paper fish hats and colourful canvases through Mau-reen Chappell’s Creative Hands.
T-shirts were also for sale and information on the sockeye run provided during the festival that was held in conjunction
with B.C. Rivers Day. The weekend also in-
cluded opportunities for riparian-guided walks and nature walks, which helped visitors learn about the local area and about the majestic sockeye salmon that had travelled a whopping 620 kilometres from the mouth of the Fraser River to their birth place at Horsefly River.
Only between two and 10 of the 4,000 eggs laid by each female salmon will make it back to
the spawning grounds as adults in four years’ time to continue the cy-cle anew.

If someone has told you that you can’t sing, don’t believe them.
“I have never had anyone who could not learn to sing,” says singing instruc-tor Angela Sommer, who gave a lesson for beginning singers Sat-urday at the Central Cariboo Arts and Cul-ture Centre.
The workshop was one of several events held at the centre as part of Williams Lake Arts and Culture Days.
Sommer says sing-ing is a matter of get-ting over your fear of failure, finding a com-fortable singing range and not concentrating so hard on the notes at first that you freeze with fear.
“I have a whole bag
of tricks to get people to loosen up when they sing,” Sommer says.
A couple of tricks she had the workshop participants do were to follow her in singing a silly little ditty “Give poppa a proper cup of coffee in a proper cof-fee cup.”
Another trick to loosen up was to have participants dancing as they sang another song.
She taught the participants how to breathe and not to be afraid to ask questions of their instructor.
She said she has been singing and play-ing music since she was a little girl so she may at times lose sight of the fact that begin-ning students don’t understand the music lingo that she is using.
For instance she said it wasn’t a silly question to ask what the difference is be-tween melody and harmony or how you
keep your voice from following other voices when you are singing with a choir where there are high and low parts to the music.
She advised the par-ticipants to stand next to a strong singer and follow that singer in
the part they are sing-ing.
She also taught the group some breathing excercises and had fun with them singing var-ious popular, and easy to sing songs, without the need to read mu-sic.
When you see some-one up on the stage singing what appears to be an effortless ren-dition of a song, she advised the students that there is really a lot of work behind the performance.
“I have been singing for 46 years and am singing every day, but I will still practice a song 100 times to get it just the way I want it,” said Sommer, who teaches singing lessons for all age groups.
She also invited women ages 18 and older who would like to sing to join her at the Just For Fun sing-ing group sessions on Thursday evenings from 7:30 to 9 p.m. at St. Peter’s Anglican Church on Carson Drive.
Sommer leads the group in singing songs without the need to read music. She said singing just for the fun of it, without the need to read music or any-one judging your abil-ity is also a great stress reliever.
The Just for Fun women’s group met on Friday evenings last year but she said the group will meet on Thursday evenings this year, which is a better fit for people who have to be out of town on weekends.
The Just for Fun singing group is a free activity for women funded by the Wom-en’s Contact Society, which also provides free babysitting while the women sing.
Singing doesn’t have to be scary

Camera club donates winning photo to TRU
In 2010, a group of photography enthusi-asts came together to discuss forming what would eventually be-come the Cariboo Camera Club.
Ever since then the club has been meeting once a month at the Williams Lake campus of Thompson Rivers University for either an “educational night” or a “critique night,” alternating from one meeting to the next, said club member Pat Teti.
Earlier this year the club held a pho-tography competition among members to select an image that reflected the distinctive character of Williams Lake or the Cariboo-Chilcotin.
The winner, judged by Geoff Moore of the Cariboo Chilcotin Coast Tourism As-sociation, was Gord Stevenson’s image of a loaded logging truck
passing through the colourful arid land-scape of Farwell Can-yon.
“The truck is a small but important part of the composition, like the forest industry in the Cariboo-Chilco-tin,” Teti said of Ste-venson’s photo.
In appreciation for the use of a venue for their meetings, the club presented TRU with a framed and matted print of the photo.
The printing was done by Speedpro Signs and the matting and framing were done by Frame Creations
by Bruce, both in Wil-liams Lake.
People wanting to see the print will find it hanging in the recep-tion area of the univer-sity’s administration office.
Teti invites anyone interested in photogra-phy to come to one of
the Cariboo Camera Club’s meetings.
“They’re keen and they have fun,” Teti said.
Meetings are at TRU on the fourth Tuesday of each month at 6:30 p.m. New members of all ages and skill levels are welcome.

To many Cana-dians, their auto-mobile is like their spouse. They go everywhere togeth-er, they have stuck together for years, and they can’t seem to function without each other.
However, an im-portant part of any relationship is com-munication.
U n fo r t u n at e l y, many Canadians
ignore signs from their car that indi-cate it might be time for a tune up.
Your car is a very complex piece of machinery, almost like a living thing. Any significant changes in the life of your car, from performance to safety, should be im-mediately brought to the attention of your mechanic. Ig-
norance is not bliss.To make sure
your automotive relationship stands the test of time, be sure to keep a look out for the follow-ing warning signs, which warrant a stop to your local service provider.
CHECK ENGINE LIGHT
This is one of the most frequently ig-nored warning signs from your car. The check engine light could indicate a va-riety of problems with your vehicle of varying severity, from a loose fuel cap to an overheat-ing or failing en-gine.
TROUBLESTARTING
A drained bat-tery, corroded ca-bles, malfunction-ing spark plug, bad ignition switch, or broken timing belt are just a few of sev-eral possible causes to this problem.
If your engine is having difficul-ty starting, get it checked - it could mean the difference between a quick vis-it to your mechanic and a long and ex-pensive tow to the garage.
VEERING LEFT OR
RIGHT
Your car should always move in the direction you are steering it to.
If you find that your car pulls to one side whenever you let go of the steering wheel or apply brakes, your car could be due for an alignment.
It’s a quick fix, so don’t put it off. Misalignment can cause uneven wear on your tires, which could mean more dollars in the long run.
PUDDLES UNDER
YOUR CAR
Your car requires a myriad of differ-ent fluids to run properly – brake flu-
id, transmission flu-id, gasoline, oil, and coolant. Each is vi-tal for the operation of your car, and any puddles or leaking fluids should not be ignored.
SQUEALING BRAKES
AND POOR
STOPPING PERFORMANCE
This is one of the most serious warn-ing signs your car can send you.
Squealing brakes is a likely indicator of brake pad wear, which can lead to more extensive brake damage and a potentially unsafe vehicle, if left unat-tended.

Sudden car trouble is something no driver wants to experience, but many a driver has been driving down the highway only to feel his or her vehicle start to sputter. Such sput-tering might indicate a car is running low on fuel, or it could be a sign of something more serious that re-quires motorists to think as quickly and safely as possible.
When car trouble strikes while a vehi-cle is on the road, the first thing many driv-ers do is check their fuel gauges. A car that runs out of gas is certainly inconve-nient, but if you can pull over to the shoul-der or make it to the nearest filling station, then this unfortu-nate situation can be remedied rather eas-ily. But when a car’s tank is full and it is still showing signs of trouble, drivers must
take steps to protect themselves, their pas-sengers and their ve-hicles. The following are a few simple tips motorists should keep in mind so they can safely handle any car trouble that may arise while they are out on the road.
• Keep a first-aid kit, spare tire and tire jack in the car at all times. Flat tires are no fun, but they are even more of a nuisance when drivers are not prepared to address them. Always keep a jack and spare tire in your car, even if the spare is a donut you can temporarily use to replace a flat tire until you make it to a filling station or automotive supply store. As an added safety measure, keep a fully stocked first aid kit in your vehicle in case you cut yourself while chang-ing the tire or need to address another medi-
cal situation. Keep a blanket in
the trunk as well so your passengers can stay warm should you experience car trouble on a cold day or night.
• Make note of your surroundings. Some car troubles can only be fixed by the profes-sionals, so pay careful
attention to your sur-roundings in case an issue arises and forces you to pull over and call for help.
Always pay atten-tion to mile markers and any landmarks that might help you describe where you are. Car troubles can strike at any time and
anywhere, so be sure to pay special atten-tion to your surround-ings when driving in unfamiliar areas.
• Pull over. Don’t panic if an issue aris-es suddenly. Remain calm and pull over onto the shoulder. The right shoulder is the area for pulling
over on most roads, but you may also use the left shoulder on multilane highways with medians.
Try to get as far away from traffic as possible without driving off of lev-el ground, and al-ways use your signals when pulling onto the shoulder.
If the vehicle can’t make it to the median, put your emergency flashers on and get out of the car, mov-ing away from both the vehicle and traffic. Immediately call for emergency roadside assistance, alerting the authorities if need be.
• Use flares or tri-angles to alert other drivers. So long as you are not risking your well-being, you can place flares and/or warning triangles behind your vehicle so oncoming traf-fic knows to drive
around it. BCAA recommends placing the first flare or tri-angle 10 feet directly behind the side of the vehicle that is closest to the road. The sec-ond should be placed between 30 and 60 feet (increase the dis-tances as the posted speed limit increases) behind the middle of the bumper, while the third flare or trian-gle should be placed between 120 and 360 feet behind the vehi-cle’s right side.
• Stay with the ve-hicle. Once you have called for help and set up flares or triangles, stay with the vehicle, though do so at a safe enough distance so you are not in harm’s way.
Sudden car trou-bles can be scary, but drivers who approach such issues calmly and quickly can reduce their risk for accident or injury.
In the summer of 2015, a video of doz-ens of cars swerving to avoid a family of ducks crossing a busy highway went viral.
While no people or ducks were in-jured in that inci-dent, impromptu animal crossings are a potential hazard on roadways where drivers are unaccus-tomed to sharing the road with four-legged counterparts.
In the wake of the video, officials urged drivers not to stop for animals because of the hazards posed by sudden stopping.
Drivers may have mixed feelings on whether or not to put their lives in jeopardy to save an errant an-imal, but sometimes there is little time to make a decision.
As more neighbor-hoods and roadways infringe on natural habitats, incidents of
animals on the road-ways figure to in-crease. Deer, moose, elk, and smaller ani-mals can wander out onto busy roads, and there’s no foolproof way to prevent it.
1.5 million ani-mal-car accidents occur each year, re-sulting in 10,000 injuries, 150 deaths and $2,500 in prop-erty damage on av-erage.
Knowing what to do when encounter-ing animals on the road can help drivers avoid accidents and injuries.
• Experts advise drivers to remain in their lanes and to at-tempt to slow down as quickly as possible when encountering animals on the road.
Move slowly in the direction the animal was coming from if it’s safe, as animal instinct is to dart out in the direction it was going.
• Be aware of your surroundings at all times. Scan the edges of the road to see if animals are present. Dawn and dusk are key times for animals to be on the move looking for food.
Autumn is both hunting and mating season for deer, and they tend to travel a lot during this time of year.
• Obey speed lim-its and take signs warning of animal crossing hot spots se-riously.
• Should you hit an animal, do not exit the car and approach it. Injured animals can be dangerous, with pain driving them to flail, kick or bite. Sharing road-ways with animals is tricky. Remaining alert, slowing down in highly populated wildlife areas and avoiding swerving can reduce risk of accident or injury.

Make sure that Roverisn’t a driving distraction
Most people wouldn’t think twice about grab-bing their pet and taking them for a ride in the car to run some errands or to visit friends and family.
However, with an increased focus on distracted driving
and overall driv-ing safety, there is growing concern about pet safety in the car.
Many people overlook the po-tential distraction that a pet can be, especially if they are loose in your vehicle.
They can distract you from the road, impair your vision, and even attempt to climb on you while driving.
Properly securing your pet will en-sure you are both safe.
HERE ARE
SOME SAFE
DRIVING TIPS.
• Don’t let your pets run loose in the car.
• Don’t let your dog hang its head outside the win-
dow.
• Secure your pets using a pet-friend-ly seat belt or safe-ty harness.
• Crate small pets at all times.
• Avoid letting your pets sit on
your lap when driv-ing.
• Never leave your animal in the car unattended.
• Consider in-stalling a dog bar-rier in your vehi-cle if you have a hatchback, van or SUV.
Properly securing your pets in the car and ensuring they are safe before you hit the road will mean one less dis-traction.
More detailed in-formation is avail-able from your in-surance broker.

Children with a keen interest in flying soared through brilliant blue skies and over blankets of green and gold Saturday thanks to pilots from the Williams Lake Flying Club.
The club’s annual COPA for Kids event took place at the Springhouse Airpark Airport, with smiling faces all around.
“I love it — anything to do with airplanes and kids.” said club pilot Don Stanchfield of why he supports the event every year.
With his 1974 two-seater Bel-lanca Citabria, Stanchfield was one of several pilots on hand to give children free rides to help inspire and instil a love of flying in the next generation of avia-tors.
“Ever since I was a kid I just loved airplanes and flying. I’ve been flying for 34 years now and every time my wheels leave the ground it still feels great.”
Long-time pilots Dave Ireland and Lyle Connatty were also on hand to offer flights to kids.
Ireland, who was unable to fly the plane himself Saturday while he recovers from eye sur-
gery, and Connatty co-own a four-seater Cessna 175.
“We had many great trips in that plane — from the Ber-ing Strait to Hudson Bay,” said Ireland as he watched his plane take off from the runway.
Ireland said he learned to fly in 1967 to mark Canada’s cen-tennial, and is proud to be apart of such a long, rich history with the local flying club.
“The flying heritage here goes a long ways back.”
For 12-year-old Mat Huston, flying in a fixed wing airplane for the first time was a thrill.
“It was so much fun,” said Huston. “Especially when he flew us up, and then down fast.”

Despite his second setback in as many bouts, Williams Lake pro boxer Stuart McLellan isn’t letting it bother him.
McLellan, 28, was stopped in the third round Sept. 18 in a 147-pound Canadian title bout versus Cal-gary’s Steve Claggett in his home town at the Deerfoot Inn and Casino.
“There’s no crying about it,” McLellan said. “You just get back in the gym.”
Things appeared to be going well for McLellan early, now with 12 wins, two losses and three draws in his career, until Claggett dropped a stinging body shot to McLellan’s liver to end the bout.
“It was going
good,” McLellan said.
“I felt really good coming in and had a good training camp.
I was just starting to get my rhythm and find my timing and he hit me with the old Micky Ward —
tapped me in the head then dropped me a liver shot. I beat the count but I was in no shape to continue, but it happens.”
It was the first time McLellan had been stopped in a fight since his first amateur fight in 1988.
“He’s had almost 30 [pro] fights. That experience definitely played a factor,” he said. “He’s in your face all the time, al-ways moving.”
McLellan, mean-while, isn’t looking to take any time off and wants to step back in the ring as soon as he can.
“I’ve got something lined up for October but can’t discuss the details until it’s of-ficial,” he said. “I was in the gym two days after the fight [training and getting ready].”

A new Williams Lake mountain biking trail map mobile app is gain-ing traction.
“I heard in Whistler and Squamish they had a trail app and ap-parently it was quite popular,” said Williams Lake Cycling Club di-rector Ivor McMahen. “I thought it would be useful to have here.”
McMahen contacted the creator of the app called TrailMapp, Ryan Robertson of the Low-er Mainland, and asked if it could be done in Williams Lake.
Several months later, after extensive updating of the local map data-base on McMahen’s part, Williams Lake TrailMapp became a reality.
TrailMapp is simple to navigate. Users start by selecting a trail network, which then zooms in for a look at what the selected net-work offers. You can then select a trail — marked either green, blue or black for diffi-culty — for an extensive description.
“Visitors that don’t know which trails go up or down — it’s use-ful instead of looking at the hardcopy map be-cause there are a lot of variables,” he said, add-ing there is a GPS loca-
tor which shows users exactly where they are on the trail network in the event of getting lost.
“Our network is huge,” he said. “We have top-notch signage but this tells you exactly where you are.”
The app also shows parking locations for pickup and dropoff spots, and will work solely on GPS so no mobile network or data is required for its use.
Currently the app will only work on iPhones,
however, an Android version is being devel-oped and should be re-leased soon, he said.
“The feedback has been really fantastic,” he said. “There are recommended riding routes for each trail network with blow-by-blow descriptions … my first thought was this would be great for visitors, but I’m finding a lot of local people like to get out and walk the trails. It could be useful for them, too.”
The app costs $9.99 on the iStore, with $3.50 from each sale go-ing to the WLCC’s trail maintenance fee.
“So far it’s been quite successful,” McMahen said. “We’re averaging about two downloads a day.”

Where do I start?The most common question heading into a � rst time � tness program is where do I start. With so much information out there, it’s hard to get a bead on what’s essential and what’s a nice to have. We can keep it simple by breaking Fitness Training 101 down into 3 conversations: what, why and how.The what. There are 5 key systems that are going to be activated during a � tness program. The skeletal system (bones), the muscular system (muscles & tendons), the respiratory system (lungs), the circulatory system (heart and blood � ow) and the nervous system (brain and nerves). These systems are what prepares and keeps our body in motion on a daily basis.The why. Any good � tness program will incorporate all of the systems for the most complete program and best results. eg: if we want to lose weight or lean out we need a program which prepares our muscles to support our bones in order to bene� t our lungs over a walk / run program. Many times we experience programs that deal with only 1 facet of � tness training eg: lifting weights and don’t understand why are not getting the overall bene� ts or results we were looking for.The how. Any effective � tness programs begin with a goal. In fact stats show the #1 reason why 99% of all � tness programs are unsuccessful is because there is no pre determined goal anchoring the focus. As the saying goes, no plan – no purpose – no point. Selecting a weight loss goal is ok – however the problem with choosing a weight loss goal is that great measures are taken to achieve that goal and once it is met, people revert back to their previous habits and the weight goes right back on. This is called the ‘yo-yo effect’. Goals need to be short and long term, realistic & measurable (as opposed to ‘want to feel better’). A great goal would be to walk, hike, ride or run X distance over a certain time or take x shots off your golf swing, or increase your � exibility by x centimeters. That goal is put into a program that progressively builds over a determined period of time in order to be safely and realistically achieved. eg: if your goal is to one day run 10k, you would not begin by running 10k as fast as you could. You would start off with a progressive build.

All signs are point-ing to strong seasons from Williams Lake rep hockey teams af-ter playing success-ful icebreaker tour-naments during the weekend.
Both the Williams Lake Bantam Tier 2 Timberwolves and the Williams Lake Bantam Female Tim-berwolves hosted ice-breakers in the lakec-ity, while the Williams Lake Tier 2 Midget Timberwolves, the Williams Lake Midget Female Timberwolves
and the Williams Lake Peewee Tier 2 Timber-wolves travelled out of town.
The midget T-wolves wrapped up the weekend with three wins and one loss in Prince George.
Williams Lake opened the tourna-ment with a 4-2 win over Prince George. Will Paynton, Cody Swan, Logan Clarke and Corey Loring scored for Williams Lake in the win.
In game two Wil-liams Lake faced Van-
derhoof and, despite peppering their goalie with more than 70 shots, only won the game by a 3-1 margin.
Swan, Spencer Neufeld and Lane Wycotte scored for the T-wolves.
In their third game Williams Lake downed Quesnel, 7-2. The game was tightly contested early but Williams Lake man-aged to pull away in the second and third periods using their skating, hitting and hustling to their ad-
vantage. Swan and Hare both potted a pair of goals with Loring, Berkelaar and Wycotte adding singles.
In their last game Williams Lake took on Prince George again and quickly fell behind 3-0 after a slow start. Williams Lake tied the game at 4-4 early in the third frame before running out of gas and getting into penalty trouble. Prince George went on to win 7-4.
Scoring for the lake-
city were Owen Pow-ers, Paynton, Loring and Brett Hare.
Back in Williams Lake, the bantam T-wolves finished with a perfect 3-0 weekend.
Raeyden Beau-champ, Sebastian Gracia, Grady Thom-as, Lane Paddison, Tyson Conroy and Brendan Pigeon each lit the limp in the team’s opener as they edged Prince George, 6-5.
The T-wolves then hammered Quesnel, 5-2, with two mark-ers from Paddison and singles from Bro-dy Conroy, Tristan Takats and Thomas, before clobbering Vanderhoof 8-2.
Tanner Hooper and Thomas each found the twine twice, while Jace Myers, Sam Pow-ers, Paddison and Beauchamp each tal-lied once.
In other out of town results, the midget fe-male Timberwolves picked up three wins over Prince George, while the peewee tier 2 T-wolves fell 4-0 in Quesnel.
The WL midget T-wolves now head to Salmon Arm for a tournament Oct. 9-11, while the bantam T-wolves, the peewee T-wolves and the midget female T-wolves each have games this com-ing weekend.

Palliative careIn-home end of life careAs a registered nurse with twenty-� ve years of palliative nursing experience, I want to take this opportunity to introduce myself as well as the professional palliative care services I am offering.
The need for medical palliative care is only increasing as the Canadian population ages and more people wish to stay at home for end of life care. It is my aim to support clients and families who desire a “good death” at home.
I offer quality and compassionate in home nursing care and respite for family members. I am also able to act as a liaison between the client and physicians, pharmacists, home care nurses and family members, as required.
My nursing career has focused on geriatrics, home care, and “outpost” nursing. I have extensive experience working in isolated and multicultural communities and understand the unique challenges these environments can pose. I have also completed Victoria Hospice Society’s “Medical Care of the Dying” courses, which have afforded me invaluable insight, knowledge and hands on experience. Hospice staff and faculty continue to inspire and direct me when dif� cult situations arise.

Regardless of age, there are programs for everyone at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex.
City of Williams Lake Recreation Coordinator Denise Skarra said the CMRC has everything under one roof to meet your fitness goals at a great low membership price.
All members are given unlimited access to the Sam Ketcham Memo-rial Pool, the Fitness Centre, drop-in aqua fit classes and multiple programs and events tailored toward children. Some of the featured programs include new lazer skates and freshly-designed swimming events.
The CMRC features multiple options for fit-ness including dryland classes, Low Impact Fit, TRX, toned down TRX, Balance Agility, Yogalates, Cardio Class and a Pump It Up Boot-camp class.
Aquafit classes in-clude Lunch Fit, Af-ternoon Aquafit, Eve-ning Aquafit and Aqua Zumba.
“Another new pro-gram we have this year is called Functional Fit-ness from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Tuesdays for persons that have at-tended Interior Health’s hip or knee rehabilita-tion program, or people may want to participate if they have some sort of chronic illness and just want to start moving and to get back into fit-ness,” Skarra said.
“Functional Fitness is a walking program in the arena lobby with stretch-ing and strengthening — we’ll have chairs, etc., set up so people, if they can’t make the whole loop for the first time, they can go from there.”
Back after positive re-sults last year is also the CMRC’s Eating Habits Busting program — an enhanced membership providing a 12-month
class where participants learn how to change their lifestyle by adjust-ing their diet and exer-cise.
“Three times a year there will be a profes-sional coming in — a di-etician, someone talking about making physical changes and someone talking about exercise,” she said.
A Harvest Run planned for Oct. 18 is another special event added to the CMRC’s lineup for this year.
“This is a five-kilome-tre walk, run or bike and it’s the first time we’re doing a fall event,” said Suzanne Cochrane, the City’s Recreation Pro-grammer.
“This event is very
similar to the Nutrition Run that occurs in the spring. Participants are able to come on the day of the event, there is not pre-registration process, and no fees for this fun active fall event.”
Also new this year, CMRC staff have com-mitted to offering more programs for youth.
“Every Thursday pri-
or to a Pro-D Day we’re going to have a tween night pool party,” she said.
“The parties we have hosted so far this year have been really suc-cessful. The next one is a Monster Mash Pool Bash and will be a Hal-loween-themed event on Thursday, Oct. 22.”
The Tween Pool Night is for children 8 to 12 years old on Thursday, Oct. 22 from 7 to 9 p.m. Youth with the Grade 5 Initiative get in free to all our events and swims. The following day on October 23rd is a Family Pool Night from 6:30 to 8 p.m. The decorations and games will allow for tons of family fun.
The new lazer skates are scheduled from December through to March, along with other pool events from Octo-ber to February, such as a Swim with Santa on Dec. 4 from 6:30 to 8 p.m. and a Tropical Swim Night on January
22nd from 6:30 to 8 p.m.The City’s Events and
Marketing Coordinator, Ken MacInnis, encour-aged everyone to pick up the City’s 2015 Ac-tive Living Guide, avail-able at the CMRC and at various places around Williams Lake.
“One thing that al-ways strikes me is you have the traditional things like drop-in fit-ness classes, the pool, but what always impresses me is we have quite the gamut of programs,” he said.
“[The Active Living Guide] is really worth checking out and you never know what you might see that peaks your interest.”
Memberships to the CMRC are available on a monthly or annual ba-sis, along with 10-time punch pass cards.
