On their way to Barkerville

In total, 12 teams and one person on snowshoes participated in the Saturday Sled Dog Mail Run event. However, with deteriorating weather and trail condi-tions and freezing rain in the forecast for Sunday, officials cancelled the run into Barkerville based on safety considerations. The mail was delivered to Barkerville on Sunday by one dog sled team to complete the mandate from Canada Post. For more coverage see Friday’s edition of the Observer.

A day on the ice

Council has referred a recommendation to the Policy and Bylaw Committee to establish a policy which addresses all budget submissions and financial requests. The recommendation suggests that these (submissions and requests) be referred to the Financial Sustainability and Audit Committee (FSAC) for analysis and that Council will make financial decisions based on a recommendation from the Financial Sustainability and Audit Committee.

Council would like to ensure that it makes budget-impacting decisions in a timely and informed manner and have sufficient and timely briefing materials so it can always make spending decisions within the context of the whole budget.

The FSAC has an approved Terms of Reference, which makes it the point for all budget submissions from the public. FSAC is also the Council Standing Committee that will have the most up-to-date budget information and the most comprehensive understanding of all the internal and external pressures on Council’s annual and five-year budget.

These Terms of Reference also require it to make budget recommendations to council that comply with council’s budget policies and procedures. nder this practice Council would remain the final decision-maker on all spending decisions,

as FSAC would bring back to council a recommendation only on every submission referred to it.

Economic grantsCouncil approved

an application for $50,000 to Northern Development Initiative Trust for the Economic Development Capacity Building Grant for the projects listed below with the funding flowing through to Quesnel Community

and Economic Development Corporation (QCEDC). Council further approved the application for $8,000 to Northern Development Initiative Trust for the Grant Writing Support Grant of $8,000 with the funding flowing through to Quesnel Community and Economic Development Corporation.

ABOUT COMMUNITY FOUNDATIONSInclusive. Forward-looking. Fair. Creative. Safe. Green. Fun. There’s no end of words to describe what we want our communities and country to be.

Community vitality is the unique spirit that � ourishes when people believe their community holds possibilities for everyone. And it can be measured by how well people’s needs are being met: from our most basic needs—sustenance, shelter, health care, safety—to those that give quality to life, such as places and opportunities to play, learn and create.A vital community is one that:• Includes and o� ers opportunities to everyone• Has the knowledge and ability needed to help shape its own future

for generations to come• Can meet its most important needs, challenges and opportunities,

today and in the future• Is � lled with people who are interested and engaged in � nding ways

to make their community a more vital place to live, work and playIt is the vision of Community Foundations of Canada that our communities are ready to address pressing problems like poverty, unemployment, hunger and housing. And all citizens are able to bene� t from the best a community can o� er: the arts, recreation, health care, education, safe and inclusive neighbourhoods and a healthy environment.

Council reviews grant programsfrom A2

Economic Development Capacity Building Grant for 50,000 is to increase the economic development capacity of municipalities and regional districts within the region. Eligible costs include incremental salaries, incremental operational costs, consulting or contractor fees and collaborative projects with other municipalities, regional districts or First Nations Bands.

Grant Writing Support for $8,000 is to assist municipalities, regional districts, and First Nations bands to build grant writing capacity and expertise that leads to direct funding for projects in the region.

The Grant Writer is required to apply for a minimum of $200,000 to support community projects.

QCEDC continues to work with the non-profit and business community to support grant funds coming into Quesnel to support community activities and needs.

Council believes an in-house economic development function will more directly align with its strategic plan and budget constraints. The QCEDC will be wound down by Dec. 31, 2015. The board has been replaced by an interim board of directors for the remainder of this year.

When the B.C. government last resorted

to shooting wolves from helicopters in the 1980s, an emotional public outcry forced a retreat.

In the B.C. tradition, sensation-seeking urban media and protesters led the way. An outraged reporter named Pamela Martin marched a BCTV crew off the road near Fort St. John to expose this presumed crime against nature. With a metre of snow and tempera-tures dipping to -40, they didn’t get far, but public sentiment was aroused enough for politicians to overrule wildlife biologists.

This winter, while snow reveals the wolves’ location from the air, the choppers and rifles are out again. And my heart goes out to the biologists and First Nations hunters who face this grim task.

The South Selkirk moun-tain caribou herd, which ranges between B.C., Idaho and Washington, has been the target of intensive con-servation efforts by govern-ments on both sides of the border. Six of the remaining 18 animals now wear radio collars. There were 46 in

2009, only 27 by 2012, and wolves have killed two more since last spring.

Targeted hunting and trap-ping haven’t been sufficient, so up to 24 grey wolves are to be shot from the air before the snow melts.

There are seven caribou herds in the South Peace, with the Graham herd the largest at about 700. It’s the control group, left to fend for itself as a measure of wolf removal for the rest. The Burnt Pine herd is down to one bull, effec-tively extinct. The province and Treaty 8 First Nations are working on a plan to kill 120-160 wolves in that region.

It’s long been accepted that resource roads, logging and recreational trail use have increased herd disruption and predator access through what would otherwise be

seamless bush and deep snow.

Snowmobiles and even back-country skiers can shift the balance. Smithers-area outdoor enthusiasts are currently being urged to stay away from the Telkwa Mountains, where the caribou herd is down to fewer than 20 animals. Lo-cal hunting and snowmobile clubs have observed a ban on motorized travel since 2003, but of course there will always be yahoos who chase animals for fun.

A mountain caribou recov-ery plan was implemented in 2007, protecting 2.2 mil-lion hectares from logging and road-building, including most of the core habitat of the South Selkirk herd. The Nature Conservancy of Canada bought 550 square kilometres in that region to protect habitat.

Strategies include trans-planting animals from healthier to weaker herds to increase genetic diversity and capturing and penning females with young calves to keep them from being picked off by wolves.

The B.C. grey wolf population averages around 8,500, with managed hunt-ing and trapping to protect

livestock while preserving the wolf as apex predator in most of its wide range.

This context is seldom reported by Vancouver media, which mostly sees its role not as explaining issues but rather embarrassing whatever political party is in power and providing an uncritical platform for the stop-logging-mining-energy crowd, which is seen as popular with urban viewers.

Remember the spotted owl, with the fringe of its range extending into south-ern B.C.? Our branch-plant enviros marketed that one for years. Its core habitat is Washington and Oregon, where many sawmills were shuttered to “save” them.

Now they’re shooting invasive barred owls, which have emerged as a greater threat to spotted owls than logging. Context is impor-tant.

I suppose we’ll never know what difference the 1980s wolf kill would have made if it hadn’t been shouted down for TV ratings and ur-ban enviro-donations.

Wolf kill last hope for caribou

B.C. ViewsTom Fletcher

Stay classyAt first glance, the idea to ban

parents from the hockey rink may sound ridiculous.

It happened this week when a Van-couver Island minor hockey associa-tion announced they were considering banning people in the stands for a weekend to send a message to incor-rigible parents squawking at refs and players on the ice.On second glance, it may just be a

good idea. Especially after finding out that Penticton parents ended up in fisticuffs with the opposing teams’ fans at a tournament in Salmon Arm last weekend. It started with a dis-agreement over a penalty called by the ref and ended with a physical confrontation. This despite the Salm-on Arm Minor Hockey Association saying they make efforts at the begin-ning of the season to teach parents abuse of officials, players (and we guess next season will include fellow spectators) is not acceptable.This isn’t a one-off in the world of

minor hockey either. In November, a restraining order was placed on a woman who was harassing the Koo-tenay Ice (WHL), Detroit Red Wings (NHL) and others about her sons’ hockey careers. Earlier this month a Burnaby hockey dad was given a conditional discharge and 12 months probation for threatening a minor hockey player all of nine-years old. One blogger posted a video this week (date of its origin unknown) shot from the stands of a minor hockey game. A parent, from Florida, sud-denly stands up in a rage over a ref’s decision and smashes his hand against the glass shattering it. At least one parent commented, “Way to go Paul. That’s classy.”So maybe having a no spectator

weekend might put things into per-spective for the parents who dish out thousands of dollars in gear, travel and fees for their kids to play hockey. Hockey is there for kids to participate in organized sport, make friends and have fun.What fun is it when you have to em-

barrassingly hang your head low on the ice or in the dressing room when your parents are the ones screaming from the stands? For the sake of the kids, volunteers and referees, keep it classy.

Editor:Re: U.S. ripping us off

on water (B.C. Views, Jan. 7).

Not mentioned in Tom Fletcher’s article is the ongoing leaching of radioactive waste from the Hanford nuclear weapons site into the Columbia River, which can drift north into B.C. � sh-bearing waters.

This is public knowledge in the U.S., but not well known to the B.C. public.

Hanford is the most contaminated site in the U.S. and the most expensive toxic site to clean up, even more so than Love Canal.

It was the Second World War’s largest secret site for concentrating radioactive material for

the Hiroshima bomb. PBS had a recent program on how sick the workers are still getting due to exposure while cleaning up this site.

In 1995, some of the 45,000 scientists and engineers Ottawa laid off were relocated to Canadian universities as adjunct and associate professors. However,

the directorates, such as Inland Waters from 1970 to 1990, which oversaw

national standards for water quality and hydrology, were closed.

So the fragmented remains of Canadian research survive at our universities and the ‘national’ health and safety standards for humans, � sh, animals, etc. downloaded or extinguished since 1995, especially since 2001.

Hanford is the worst case for both our salmon, animals and humans.

After 70 years, Hanford is still affecting Paci� c Northwest � sh regardless of Columbia’s hydrology.

The Columbia River Treaty is not just about the lost economic opportunity costs.

Things were looking pretty good leading

up to this years count. A forecast of 10cm of snow on count day would normally be ideal for bringing our feathered friends to feeders.

Perhaps a sustained spell of cold weather, with temps ranging from -10C to -25C, and some periods of ‘ice-rain’ had forced many birds south in search of a milder climate. That was the view of our Ornitholo-Meteorologist, Jack Bowling.

I didn’t get much time to go scouting this year. As I was driving around the day before the count, I realized something was very wrong.

I called Brian Murland and said, “There is something really wrong here. I’ve been out for hours and all I’ve seen is half-a-dozen ravens, and I heard chickadees twice.”

Brian mentioned that he’d been out, and found topped-up feeders with no birds. Gulp.

Anyway, all was set for the count. Then, we suddenly received two catastrophic knockout blows.

Two of our Prince George crew pulled-out citing concerns about road conditions and

getting back to P.G. Then another two P.G. birders dropped-out citing electrical problems with their vehicle.

These folks aren’t just your average birders, they are really good birders and make our count viable. Quesnel has a lot of folks with a casual interest in birds, but few seem to take that next step into craziness.

I issued a three-line whip to meet at Tim Horton’s on Front Street, to see if there was some way we could stretch ourselves as thin as a rail. I was thinking to myself, if Jack Bowling and Brien McGaughey arrive, from Prince George, we could still make some sort of attempt at a count, but if they don’t? After a tense wait, Jack and Brien arrived. They’d planned ahead and stayed in Quesnel overnight.

Birders convened, coffee in hands. I asked Sally Hofmeier and Yvonne Wentzel if they could take-on Dragon Zone. Sally looked as if I’d sentenced her to death. I asked Jack and his team if they could cover both sides of the Quesnel River, leaving out the north section of Red Bluff and they were game for the challenge.

Team Murland agreed to cover West Village and West Fraser.

We were still left with one zone without coverage, Richbar. I had telephoned some key feederwatchers in that zone and they were ready to watch for birds. Luckily, Steve Smith had a few hours free on count day, jumped into his vehicle and hit the road. My cell phone rang. It was Steve.

“I’m on Dogwood, and I’ve got a few Pine Grosbeaks, but it’s dead here.”

I replied, “I know, Steve. I was there yesterday. It’s totally dead in that area. Just get down to Kersley and Loloff Crescent.

“They’re the best areas in that zone. And there has been a Blue Jay hanging out at Bruce Paterson’s place on Lust Rd. It’s the place next to Red Bluff Community Hall.”

Steve came back with, “Okay, I’m on my way.” (This is a consistent feature of a CBC, examples of great spirit in the face of adversity).

It snowed steadily most of the day. There wasn’t much out there in terms of numbers, but there were some great � nds and the usual contingent

(perhaps more than usual) of missing species.

A congenial atmosphere at tally-up (thanks to Manfred Roschitz and Brian Murland for updating the tally-sheet) with everybody swapping stories and enjoying the potluck. (Thanks to Tracy Bond of Baker Creek Enhancement Society for the use of the Nature Centre).

Dan Broderick kindly provided a prize for the best story of the day. The prize was a link-kit for camera to scope, and it was awarded to Brian Murland for his Great Blue Heron story. Some friends of Brian on Dyke Road had mentioned seeing a Great Blue Heron by the Fraser River.

On their way in from the count, Brian and Sheila decided to swing-by the back of West Park Mall, in the remote chance there might be a Great Blue Heron and there was a Great Blue Heron posing by Baker Creek. I bet they laughed out loud. Jerry McFetridge related a few good stories and I jokingly said to Brian, “right, give me that prize back.”

As it happens, it was the wrong size kit for Brian’s gear, so Brian presented the prize to Jerry, who

looked really happy to receive it.

Thanks so much to everyone who joined-in with the CBC. I felt a tremendous sense of relief that, given the circumstances, we’d actually managed a count.

Stork Report

Although Dale Brown’s

motorized chair has been a common sight in Quesnel, people still take a second look when they see a small enclosed electric cart scooting around town. Since putting together this mode of transportation three years ago it has enabled him to get out and about even in snowy conditions.

His cart as he calls it has been called a number of things including a bank machine. It was designed after a tin Lizzie and took him five or six months from May until the end of September to complete three years ago. With help of friend Mike Nelson they found suitable material at the local dump including a composting unit. His only expense was $2 for plastic for windows and 50 cents for rear trunk. Sharron Mindel of Salvation Army gave him a box for the front. The entire chair is plastic but looks like metal. The metal frame is actually a metal clothes horse. When he got the cart in early spring he realized it needed a cover for protection from chilly winds. He describes himself as a born collector and didn’t even have to buy screws and nails.

For some time Dale had this in mind and thought it must be possible to make a cart. He has long been of the opinion there is no such thing as can’t. He felt that if he had to stay at home all day he would go insane.

He cut pieces of material on the floor and in essence built a car. He measured the width so that it would take up no more than half the width of the sidewalk. There are only two screws

holding the cab to his chair and can easily use it in his house. It was necessary to make the top slightly narrower to allow for the width of side mirrors. Most of the chair is an adjustable two feet wide with a heated cushion, lights, windshield wipers – the same length as a Smart Car. It is valued at $10,000 before the roof. PG Surgmed has made every effort to maintain his chair.

Much of the time Dale finds sidewalks

passable but sometimes has to get out on the road briefly when not plowed but realizes the danger here. He made short skis by cutting a pair of skis from a bicycle tire in half and using a bungee cord to hold it together. He finds an improvement this winter so far from last when he was in touch with City Maintenance several times.

He is now working on a design where two sheets of coroplast for probably $40 that could be used to fold away or set up similar to a doll house. Although he made the chair out of necessity, his brother suggested he make a blueprint to help others to make a chair for themselves.

From the time Dale was 11 and a half years old he has had a problem

walking. His parents thought he had polio at first until a doctor discovered he had perthess that almost exclusively affects boys. As far as he knows they don’t know the cause. He spent some time in Vancouver Childrens’ Hospital. Because his left leg was four and a half inches shorter than the other he has two splints but is unable to walk very far.

Although very

limited in his activities, painting, doing sculptures, writing poetry and songs while playing his guitar have been a big part in his life. One of his songs was featured on the radio ‘Clearly Canadian’ music. He plays with Lynda Ritter and Mike Nelson in the Fraser River Band having performed for 13 of the 15 years at the Quesnel Fall Fair and other venues. He also served on the Fall Fair board of directors for one year. It was a thrilling experience when he and his brother Terry heard one of his songs

on the radio.Seeking a lifestyle

in the country Dale and his wife and daughters Natasha, Samantha, and Sadie moved here from Prince George 15 years ago and got a place on Bluestone Road.

Then Lady Luck intervened and brought them into town after a time. Music has also been an important part in the lives of his daughters. They, too, have written songs and

Samantha excelled with honours in B.C. choir and played fiddle in the Old Time Fiddlers. Music has helped them gain self confidence and provided much enjoyment.

Dale is very proud of his girls.

Now at the age of 58 Dale is grateful for his lot in life, the ability to use what talents he has been given and the great support of friends and family.

Waveriders make a splash at home WHITNEY GRIFFITHS

Observer Reporter

The Waveriders took on the competition at home, hosting their first swim meet of the season Jan. 17 – 18.

“The Waveriders first swim meet was a huge success due to the massive help of our entire team’s family, friends and the Quesnel pool staff,” coach Jerritt Brink said.

“Angie Swyers and Linda Currie organized an extremely well put together event. It was very impressive.”

Brink also credits the help of Williams Lake’s Scott McCreight for the stroke and turn and Marlyin King from Prince George who severed as referee.

“Both provided their skills and patience to help make this a great experience,” Brink explained.

Though the entire event

was a massive success, Brink highlighted some of the more memorable moments at the meet.

Some of the highlights included Billy Swyers qualifying for ‘AAA’ the highest provincial level of competition, Emerie Watson swimming in for first place in seven out of her eight events and qualifying for AA provincials this February.

Finally a favourite amount the Waveriders and their coach was the relay event.

“The senior 4x50 free relay really wowzer’d me,” Brink said.

“The team of Natasha Hanson, Brad Swyers, Sonny Cervienka and Garnet Currie did the 200m in one minute and 55 seconds.”

Many of the Waveriders took to the podium to received medals when the weekend of swimming came to it’s end.

Taking the bronze for the

girls 10 and under in the 250m freestyle was Lainey Van Home.

In the 10 and under 200m individual medley bronze for the girls went to Gavin Currie.

SPORTS

Oak Gardens face off

The junior A Salmon Arm Silverbacks skated into town on their way back from a match in Prince George. Though this was the first time on the outdoor ice for almost all of the players it was well known for former Quesnel local Byrden Marsh. Marsh has been skating with the Silverback for more than three years, hockey has always been in this skaters blood with his elder brother having played for the Quesnel Millionaires. It was a quick stop home and then back on the road for more games for Marsh.

January 25 - 31, 2015ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20There is no harm in being ambitious, Aries. But a little humility to accompany that ambition can go a long way. Accept any recognition you earn in an appropriate manner.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21Your desires make it seem like anything is within reach this week, Taurus. You may have to work a little harder to achieve your goals, but hard work is its own reward.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21Postpone chores that are not essential, Gemini. This way you can make the most of your upcoming free time with friends and family. You deserve a little break now and again.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22Cancer, try to avoid stretching yourself too thin in the coming weeks. Your ambition and energy are at an all-time high, but if you do not slow down, you can easily get burnt out.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23It’s impossible for people to try to contain all of your energy this week, Leo. Direct your energy in a positive way and use it to reach your goals.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22Express your feelings without any inhibition, Virgo. Others will appreciate your honesty, especially if you employ some tact when sharing your opinions.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23Libra, no matter how crazy your life is right now, you still manage to come out looking no worse for wear. You have a handy way of making lemonade out of sour lemons.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22Your long-term career opportunities are looking good, Scorpio. If you do what makes you happy, you will always end up on top and financial re-wards will follow.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21Sagittarius, although you see lucrative career opportunities at every bend, you are not ready to make a big change. You will know when the mo-ment has come to make a change.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20Proceed gently if you want to make any real prog-ress, Capricorn. You’re feeling more optimistic, but you still need to exercise caution. Common sense can keep you grounded.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18Aquarius, friends may arrive at your home with plans for fun and adventure. Any kind of celebra-tion or social situation is what you crave right now. Go ahead and enjoy yourself.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20Don’t worry about a potential conflict, Pisces. In due time you will realize this was nothing to get worked up about.

From A14

For the 14–15-year-old boys, gold went to Garnet Currie with fellow Waverider Brad Swyers following close behind to take the silver medal.

Taking silver in the 16 and over category was Sonny Cervienka.

For the team their were many milestones, personal best times achieved at this event, which made for a

memorable meet. For Austin Novak

it was getting the chance to swim with his younger brother Braden Novak.

Getting six personal best times was only one of the highlights for Waverider Logan Godsoe.

It was the first meet for Waverider Shazia Fillion, tying with fellow Waverider Darby made for an exciting highlight for Fillion.

For Grace Currie the

entire meet rang out with success, taking off times on all seven of her swims for new personal best times.

Brad Swyers enjoyed shaving off a few second on the 200m backstroke and improving his technique.

“I think it was just really nice having a meet here,” Cervienka said.

“This is the first we’ve really had that’s a sanctioned meet with the

Waveriders so it’s nice inviting clubs here and whooping their butts.”

The next event for

the Waveriders was the Kelowna meet that ran Jan. 23– 24. For results, see a future Observer.

PLAN NUMBER 5-3-642 CONTEMPORARY RANCHER

Rustic exterior details lend this contemporary rancher the air of a charming country cottage. Solid logs support the gabled roof over the front porch, and are repeated on both sides of the double garage. Shingles fill the three gables, one of which boasts an attractive arched window.Even the panelled garage door, with its narrow arched windows, exudes character. Inside, this three-bedroom rancher boasts a prac-tical floor plan with a bonus: a 398-square-foot games room over the garage. The covered front entry opens to a compact foyer that leads directly into the multi-purpose great room. This open living space has a stylish gas fireplace in one corner, as well as space for either a free-standing or built-in entertainment unit. French doors open onto a covered porch, ideal for year-round grilling.The adjacent kitchen includes everything the contemporary cook might desire, including a raised eating bar, a full complement of modern appliances and a convenient pantry. While simple meals for one or two people are likely to be served at the eating bar, the dining area next to the kitchen has plenty of room for more formal dinners with family and friends. Natural light will stream into the dining area through windows on three sides. From the kitchen, a door leads to the double garage, passing a storage room, and the laundry on the way. A staircase from the foyer climbs to the games room over the garage. This space could serve as a home office, for storage or for playing games such as billiards or table tennis. The bedroom wing is located to the right of the main entry. Two smaller bedrooms face the street, while the master bedroom suite overlooks the back garden. The master suite has a walk-in closet, a niche for a television and an elegant corner en-suite bathroom with a soaker tub. Another three-piece bathroom serves the secondary bedrooms. This home measures 50 feet wide by 59 feet, 6 inches deep, for a total living area of 1,610 square feet.Plans for design 5-3-642 are available for $725 (set of 5), $820(set of 8) and $896 for a super set of 10.

DEVELOPMENT OF AN INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT PLAN

Spectra Energy is revising their current Integrated Pest Management Plans (IPMP) under British Columbia’s Integrated Pest Management Act and associated regulations. Under these regulations our plans are required to be revised every fi ve years.

The purpose of this revision is to ensure safe and effective vegetation and invasive weed control by utilizing the most current integrated pest management techniques along Spectra Energy’s pipeline right-of-ways, facilities and related infrastructure. These IPMPs will cover various activities within the following regional districts and associated communities: Peace River, Fraser-Fort George, Cariboo, Thompson-Nicola, and Fraser Valley, including the Northern Rockies Regional Municipality.

Under these newly developed integrated pest management plans, the following selective methods are proposed and may be used alone or in combination, depending on particular local circumstances:

• Integrated vegetation control measures that include mechanical, manual, cultural, prevention, biological and herbicide.

• Trade names of herbicides that may be included as part of these integrated pest management plans: Vantage XRT, Roundup, Vision Max, Sightline, Clearview, Milestone, Arsenal, Navius VM, Escort, Tordon 22K, Tordon 101, Garlon XRT, Vanquish, Overdrive, Banvel, Telar, 2,4-D amine, MCPA, Karmex, Truvist, Esplanade SC, Transline, Lontrel 360 and Chontrol Peat Paste.

• Active ingredients in these products are: Aminopyralid, metsulfuron-methyl, difl unfenzopyr, MCPA, Picloram, 2,4-D, Chlorsulfuron, Triclopyr, Dicamba, Di-uron, Aminocyclopyrachlor, Indazifl am, Imazapyr, Clopyralid, Glyphosate and Chondrostereum purpureum which is a biological natural-occurring fungus used to inhibit regrowth when applied to cut stumps.

The proposed effective date for these IPMPs for Spectra Energy’s BC Pipeline, Field Services and Midstream business units is June 15, 2015 to June 14, 2020.

Diagrams, maps and the IPMP documents are available and may be viewed by contacting the appropriate offi ce and contact person below:

• Dan Tisseur, Spectra Energy, 3985 - 22nd Ave. Prince George BC, V2N 1B7, 250-960-2034

• Angus Dickie, Spectra Energy, Mile 301 Alaska Highway, Fort Nelson, BC V0C 1R0, 250-233-6385

Any person wishing to contribute information about a proposed treatment site, relevant to the development of these two IPMPs may send copies of the information to the address above within 30 days of the publication of this notice.
