Local business leaders and community groups in 100 Mile House are teaming up to ensure that a Cariboo trail with a rich
and colourful past continues to have a bright future.
The coalition has set up a region-al management committee for the Gold Rush Snowmobile Trail to oversee its upgrading and long-term management. The committee plans to ensure the trail continues to be an asset to the Cariboo.
“The Gold Rush Snowmobile trail represents a real economic development opportunity for the Cariboo and I am pleased to see formation of a management committee to ensure the trail achieves the real benefits it can provide for the Cariboo,” said Pat Corbett,
Hills Health Ranch owner and a long-time supporter of the project.
The Gold Rush Snowmobile Trail between Clinton and Wells-Barkerville was for-mally established in late 1990, but had been used for years previously by local snowmobile clubs. Sections of the trail were also used for generations by First Nations peoples for traditional prac-tices and trade. There are also portions of the Cariboo Wagon Road along the route.
The popular Cariboo route received major maintenance during the win-ter of 2009-10 with the removal of obstructions “mostly trees killed by the
mountain pine beetle epidemic. The project was organized by the New Pathways to Gold Society (NPTGS) working in partnership with
many organizations, including the District of 100 Mile House, First Nations and local con-tractors.
Over this period, approximately $600,000 was spent on the trail with funds coming from a number of sources, including the National Trails Coalition, Western Economic Diversification Canada, Northern Development Initiative Trust and a provincial government Trails Development Grant.
A key goal in forming the committee is to ensure the investments made in the trail are protected and benefits accrue to the Cariboo.
NPTGS co-chair Cheryl Chapman thanked the participants for agreeing to serve on the new committee and spoke to the benefits the trail can provide to Cariboo residents.

“It is critical the new committee repre-sent the interests of all people in the Cariboo and I am confident the First Nations represen-tatives will be major contributors to its suc-cess,” said Chapman, who is also training and product develop-ment manager for the Aboriginal Tourism Association of B.C.
The regional man-agement committee was established at a meet-ing held Oct. 16 at the Hills Health Ranch. The first decision of the committee was to hire consultant Steve Law of 108 Mile to provide
administrative support for the new committee.
“I’ve worked closely with New Pathways to Gold and the District of 100 Mile House on the recent project and am keen to assist the newly formed committee to move quickly to implement key components of a preliminary business plan,” said Law.
The NPTGS provid-ed assistance to an ad hoc advisory commit-tee that has met over the last year and gives financial resources to develop a business plan that will provide direc-tion as the new regional management commit-tee begins its work.
Law says more infor-mation on the new committee and the committee members will be provided in the near future once all the details have been final-ized.
NPTGS is a commu-
nity-based organization dedicated to economic development through investment in B.C. heri-tage in communities along the Gold Rush Trails and continued reconciliation with First Nations.

Dinner with Friends, a fundraiser hosted Oct. 13 by Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) — South Cariboo Branch raised close to $4,000 for the agency’s Soup de Tour program.
The event featured a gourmet meal prepared by Vancouver chef Miriam Borys and sold out at 200 tickets.
The soup program, which receives no external funding, pro-vides hot, homemade soup to clients of sev-eral local social service organizations four days a week. Over the past 18 months, 12,000 bowls of soup have been distrib-uted.
CMHA-SC execu-tive director Maggie Patterson-Dickey says
she’s pleased with the fundraiser result.
“It’s enough to have made it worthwhile.
It means that Soup de Tour will be able to carry on for another year.”
The program runs on volunteer labour but there are expenses involved she says.

A new BC Soccer pro-gram has been put in place to ensure that young soccer players in north-ern British Columbia won’t have to move south to pursue elite playing opportunities.
The Northern BC Regional Soccer Training Program came into play in September, offering 24 hours of intense and demanding soccer training spread out over three week-ends. It’s open to players born in 2001, 2000 and 1999 and takes place at Quesnel’s indoor soccer facility.
Participants come from Fort St. John,
Quesnel, Williams Lake and 100 Mile House which has seven players enrolled.
The local contingent includes Olivia and Sydni Poggenpohl who play for the 100 Mile 2000 Girls Rep team and were also involved in the BC Summer Games program this past summer; Ashley Holyk who plays for the 100 Mile 2000 Girls Rep team; Karlie Easton and Kira Saenger who both played for the 1998/99 Girls Rep team in 100 Mile House; Reid Davidson and Masen Fernandes who play rep soccer in Williams Lake with the 1999 boys.
Davidson, 13, has been playing soccer since about the age of
five and it’s the number one sport of this athletic young man, who also plays house hockey in the winter.
He’s been enjoying the soccer camp and is certain it will make a difference in his game next year, and possibly his future.
“I’ve learned about moving up the field and
passing, and where to pass. There’s been lots of new drills and hard-er more complex ones which I like better.”
He likes the strict coaching he’s experi-enced at the camp and the “no fooling around” policy.
“I think it’s a good thing. It saves time and I’m learning more.”

Most people’s lives have been touched by cancer in some way, and Premier Christy Clark is no exception. Her mother won the battle against skin cancer and breast cancer, ultimately losing her life to brain cancer.
Clark said she under-stood how important it is to be near your sup-port group and for your loved ones to be able to be close to you when you are struggling with the disease.
Every morning dur-ing her mother’s battle with brain cancer she would drive to the Royal Columbian Hospital, help her mother shower and eat, then put her to bed. After work she would pick up her son and they would go see her mother. Clark would feed her dinner and help her brush her teeth.
Her mother may not have survived her final battle with cancer, but Clark said she did get to spend those final days with her in the best pos-sible way.
“It was her final gift,” she said. “Now families in Prince George will also have that gift.”
With tears in her eyes, Clark shared her story during the grand open-ing of the B.C. Cancer Agency Centre for the North on Monday. In a room filled with pro-ponents who worked hard to make the cen-tre a reality, local and provincial dignitaries as well as many of the 82 professionals who will staff the centre, she talked about the impor-tance of a community coming together with a vision, then bringing it to life.

An amendment to the occupational health and safety regulation under the Workers’ Compensation Act stipulates that resource roads are not classed as a workplace, Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Minister Steve Thomson announced today.
The amendment clar-ifies that while resource roads themselves are not considered a workplace, any portion under con-struction, maintenance or repair is deemed a workplace and gov-erned by the Workers’ Compensation Act. Industrial or commer-cial vehicles travelling
on resource roads are also governed by the act, but the road itself is not considered a work-place.
Resource roads typi-cally are constructed, maintained and used by logging companies and other industrial users. They are also used by the public travelling to
remote communities, as well as recreational and backcountry destina-tions.
The new policy is intended to clarify the status of resource roads until a new Natural Resource Roads Act is introduced. The new act will consolidate 11 separate pieces of legis-
lation that now govern resource roads and will establish a uniform set of regulations for all resource roads in B.C.
Safety on resource roads is everyone’s responsibility. Users are encouraged to report unsafe behaviour, while companies are expected to supervise and moni-
tor their workers.
Quick Facts: • B.C. has an estimat-
ed 450,000 kilometres of resource roads.
• Resource roads are typically one-lane or two-lane gravel roads built for industrial purposes to access nat-ural resources in remote areas.
• They include forest service roads, petro-leum development roads, mineral explo-ration roads, Land Act roads and special-use-permit roads.

With tears in her eyes, Clark shared her story during the grand open-ing of the B.C. Cancer Agency Centre for the North on Monday. In a room filled with pro-ponents who worked hard to make the cen-tre a reality, local and provincial dignitaries as well as many of the 82 professionals who will staff the centre, she talked about the impor-tance of a community coming together with a vision, then bringing it to life.
“This is something
you have needed in this community for a long time,” she said.
She added the prov-ince has the best cancer survival rate anywhere in North America, thanks in great part to the B.C. Cancer Agency and the specialists who work there.
Prince George now has the most
recently built clinic, one of six throughout the
province, filled with state-of-the-art
equipment.“But the real differ-
ence is the people who work in the building,” she said. “It is these peo-ple and their passion for wanting to save lives ... that is what makes the difference.”
Prince George Health Authority board chair Wynne Powell said that for the first time in the north, the newly constructed centre will allow patients to under-go radiation therapy.
He added the cen-tre is a key part of the northern cancer control strategy.
In addition to being on time and below bud-get, the centre, he said, will enhance service across the cancer care continuum through the north.
Dr. Michelle Sutter broached the subject of a local cancer centre when she noticed there was an abnormal num-ber of mastectomies being performed in the North.
“Women were unwill-ing to leave their support systems,” she said.
The initial meeting with local MLAs Pat Bell and Shirley Bond led to several more, until Dr. Charles Jago, someone who has gar-nered a great deal of respect among a range of people, was put in
charge of a steering committee, advocating for the project.
A first report by the committee project-ed the earliest such a clinic could become a reality was 2015. Bond said they knew that just wasn’t fast enough.
“Northern B.C. has been asking for equity in health care for a long time,” Bond said.
Over the time it has taken to make the cen-tre a reality, she said she was asked about it many times.
“It’s not a matter of if,” she said she told people. “It’s a matter of when. And when is today.”
“Everyone south of Williams Lake told us it couldn’t be done,” Bell said.
“When people tell northern British Columbians it can’t be done, they just roll up their sleeves. Today proves we can get it done in northern B.C.,” Bond said.
Construction for the centre began in July of 2010, with a capital cost of $91.5 million. The first patients are expect-ed to walk through the doors on Nov. 1.

As early as 1862, militia regiments were being organized in what was to become Canada, at a time when Americans to the south were engaged in its Civil War.
In fact there are sev-eral regiments still active today that can trace their history prior to Confederation.
Canada Post has cre-ated a new stamp issue to salute three of these regiments as well as honour them collec-tively for 150 years of military service.
The Black Watch (Royal Highland Regiment) of Canada was founded in Montreal in 1862 as the 5th Battalion, Volunteer Militia Rifles of Canada.
Tens of thousands of Canadians have served in Canada’s Black Watch in foreign wars, United Nations peacekeep-ing and stabilization missions, NATO inter-ventions and crises at home. Its distinguish-ing emblem, The Red Hackle, is proudly worn as a symbol of tradition,
duty and sacrifice.The Royal Hamilton
Light Infantry was also founded in 1862. “The Rileys” have served Canada in active duty at war, in peacekeep-ing efforts and in relief work at home.
Originally known as the 13th Battalion Volunteer Militia (Infantry), it merged with the Wentworth Regiment in 1936 to become The Royal Hamilton Light Infantry (Wentworth Regiment).
In 1861, a group of Torontonians, fearing invasion from the south, raised a volunteer bat-talion that would lead
to the formation of The Royal Regiment of Canada. This regi-ment would go on to serve Canada proudly in battle on three con-tinents, and serve in peacekeeping missions
around the world.
The Volunteer Militia Rifles formed in 1862 and became the Royal Regiment of Canada in 1939.
Additional informa-tion about Canadian stamps can be found in the news section of Canada Post’s website, and photos of these
new stamps are also available.
Stamps and other products will be available at participating
post offices, or can be ordered online by following the links at www.canadapost.ca/collecting, or by mail order from the National Philatelic Centre.

BC Ambulance Service (BCAS) urges parents to make sure their children know their home addresses and how to call 9-1-1.
The mother of a four-year-old child faints. The child is the only other person at home and he calls 9-1-1.
Paramedics take the mother to hospital and she recovers and rejoins her family.
It’s such a simple sce-nario that could have gone very wrong.
Brad Mitchell was the BCAS was the charge dispatcher on duty sev-eral months ago when this call came in. While the child had called 9-1-1, he didn’t know his address.
“Teaching your child to call 9-1-1 and to know his or her home address is one of the most impor-tant things you can do to help keep you and your loved ones safe at home,” says Mitchell.
“Even very young children can learn to call 9-1-1,” says Dr. Michal Fedeles, BCAS
learning design man-ager.
“Start with the basics when your child is three or four; role play some simple scenarios with your child – ‘Mom can’t get up from the floor and there’s no one else around’ - without actu-ally calling 9-1-1.
Revisit the issue every year, as your child becomes more mature and aware of his or her surroundings and abili-ties.”
It’s a good idea to talk to your children about calling 9-1-1 once a year. Fall is a good time because school starts and household routines change.
It’s also a good idea to let a child know the kinds of questions to expect when they call 9-1-1.
Dispatchers will ask where you are call-ing from, what’s your address, if the person you’re calling about is
awake. Parents or child-care
providers should also be sure to stress that the child should not hang up on the call. Dispatchers will stay connected with the child until paramed-ics arrive; they can be a calming influence for the child as well as provide instructions for caring for the patient.
Depending on the situation, they may ask your child to flag down the ambulance or put the family dog away so paramedics can focus on providing care when they arrive.

Improvements to the Lac La Hache Transfer Stati on are complete and the Pilot Program is now in operati on. An att endant will be on site to direct users to the appropriate areas for waste disposal. Household waste can be dropped off in one of two bins and a third bin is available for oversized items like matt resses and couches or small loads of constructi on waste. Metals are sti ll accepted and a wood waste area has been added. A large item share shed has also been added. Users are encouraged to speak to the att endant about how to load or contain their waste to make unloading at the site as effi cient and easy as possible, such as bagging grass clippings and leaves or segregati ng wood waste into usable and non-usable piles. Useable wood and building products are welcomed in the large item share shed.
The winter (October to March 31) hours of operati on will be:• Open Fridays through Tuesdays from 8 am to
11 am and from 1 pm to 4 pm• Closed Wednesdays and Thursdays
The operati ng hours were developed with a number of factors in mind. 1) Daylight Hours. The Lac La Hache site does not have power. The
best daylight hours were selected to avoid injury to users and att endants by operati ng in the dark or low light conditi ons.
2) Compacti on of Bins During the Day. In order to maximize the capacity of refuse bins,
and gain hauling effi ciencies, the refuse bins will be compacted during the middle of the day with heavy duty equipment. For safety concerns, this means that mid-day the site will be closed to the public.
3) Operati ng Costs. Each hour the site is operated, adds costs.
The least hours the site can be operated, and sti ll meet the need of users is a savings to taxpayers.
