The Making Connections presentation provides an engaging overview of what Corrections is all about— to many perhaps a somewhat mysterious division of the largest Ministry in BC. This presentation was delivered to all Community Corrections Local Managers and all Custody Center Wardens and Deputy Wardens and we would like the opportunity to present it to Community leaders, Justice partners and others who may be interested in the work that we do. An exciting component of the presentation is that it will be co-facilitated by staff from Community Corrections and the Custody Centers. While we do not have a custody center in Fort Nelson, staff from Prince George Regional Correctional Center will be travelling to Fort Nelson to co-facilitate the presentation with myself and the Community Corrections Local Manager Joan Aalhus. The presentation itself will run for one hour with approximately ½ hour afterwards for questions. The presentation will take place as follows: Wednesday, June 8,2016 From 1:00-2:30pm Bear Pit, Northern Rockies Regional Municipality City Hall 5319-50 Ave South Fort Nelson Please forward this email to anyone who you believe may be interested in attending the presentation and please reply to this email to let me know if you will be attending. Thanks very much, Judy Fox-McGuire SENIOR PROBATION OFFICER FORT ST. JOHN COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS Protect Communities, Reduce Reoffending . 9941-101 Ave. Fort St. John, BC V1J 2A9 direct line: 250-787-3253 fax: 250-787-3311 Page 3 of 14 Northern Rockies wants cancer clinic Matt Preprost | Alaska Highway News May 20, 2016 10:48 AM The Northern Rockies Regional Municipality is looking to re-establish a community cancer clinic in an effort to cut financial and emotional burdens for residents travelling to larger centres for treatment. Re-establishing the clinic is a core medical service identified by the municipality, and two local doctors are ready to undertake the necessary oncology training to administer treatment, the municipality told provincial Health Minister Terry Lake in a May 2 letter. “We’re probably the furthest (municipality) from a community cancer clinic in the province,” said Jaylene MacIver, economic development officer for the Northern Rockies, in an interview. “We have a significant amount of people who have this experience. If there’s any support available from the minister… we want to ensure the right steps are taken to allow us to re- establish (the clinic).” Chemotherapy used to be offered in the Northern Rockies, however, a change to provincial protocols in cancer treatment delivery some years ago left the community without the ability to carry on the service. It’s meant residents from the municipality, along with the Fort Nelson First Nation, have had to travel to Fort St. John, Dawson Creek, Grande Prairie or Prince George for treatment. For someone undergoing monthly treatments, it’s a considerable financial expense that quickly adds up with the stress of long travel and being away from support networks. “Obviously, people aren’t in good health to begin with. You don’t want to travel … and a lot of times, if you have a family, you can’t bring your family so you’re alone,” MacIver said. “The treatment itself is several hours, so you’re in the hospital by yourself, you’re overnighting by yourself, you’re travelling by yourself. It can be a scary experience if this is your first time suffering from cancer.” Roberta Dendys, deputy chief operating officer for the Fort Nelson First Nation, says some financial assistance is available for its members to cover medical treatment costs, but it doesn’t fully relieve the burden. The distance one has to travel for treatment depends on what nearby doctors are available to take the referral, she added. Page 4 of 14 Three Fort Nelson First Nation members currently have had to leave the community for treatment, with two having to travel to Prince George, she said. A trip to Fort St. John alone is 400 kilometres, she noted. “Having a cancer clinic at home will possibly help that patient heal quicker by having their family, friends and support networks here while they’re on their cancer journey,” Dendys said. “All the added stress could be a contributing factor to life or death for a cancer patient.” Both Dr. Marius Mostert and Dr. Ioana Lupu are hoping to begin their oncology training as early as this fall, according to MacIver. However, she acknowledged there’s much work still to be done before a clinic can be re-established. That includes assessing the health statistics of the local population, training nursing staff to support the doctors, ensuring the local pharmacy can be equipped with the necessary drugs, and have the BC Cancer Agency approve Fort Nelson as a site for a clinic, MacIver said. It’s too early to say what level of funding would be necessary. “It’s a spectrum of co-ordinating resources,” she said. “There’s a lot of pieces on the chessboard.” [email protected] © Copyright 2016 Alaska Highway News Page 5 of 14 British Columbia May 12,2016 Re: Bear Res~onsePropram This notice is to advise business owners and residential property ownersltenants that the Bear Response Program will continue over the 2016 season. Between today and October 31, 2016 the Fort Nelson Conservation Officer Service in partnership with the Northern Rockies Regional Municipality (NRRM) will be monitoring commercial and residential garbage bins and attractant management. This monitoring program will focus on minimizing bear-human conflict in our community. Conservation Officers now have the ability to issue a $230 violation ticket or a notice for a court appearance to residents/businesses that do not secure attractants. Those who intentionally leave out items that attract dangerous wildlife could also be issued a Dangerous Wildlife Protection Order. Failure to comply with an order carries a $575 fine. As well, the NRRM Wildlife Attractant By-Law can also be utilized. For clarification, actions to minimize potential bear-human conflict at refuse bins or other container sites can be minimized by: closing and securing lids; repairing bent or damaged lids; avoiding the over accumulation of garbage (over fulllstock piling); picking up debrislgarbage accumulation littered outside the container; placing cooking oilslgrease in the bin or container (or other provisions made); and if fenced or gated ensure gate is closed (ie: at multiple or large bin sites). For fbrther information on addressing bear-human conflict or the Bear Response Program you can contact the Conservation Officer Service through our Report all Poachers and Polluters (RAPP) 24 hour hotline at 1-877-952-7277 (htt~://www.env.gov.bc.ca.cos/ra~p/fo~m.h).

  • Early Fur-Trade Forts of the Peace River Area of British Columbia K
    Early Fur-trade Forts of the Peace River Area of British Columbia K. R. FLADMARK In the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, the area now known as British Columbia was being approached and penetrated from both land and sea by Europeans intent on trading for furs with the natives of one of the last "untouched" regions of North America. The early mari­ time fur trade has long been understood as a major influence on the post- contact characteristics of Northwest Coast Indian cultures, and as a result intensively studied by ethnohistorians and "pure" historians alike. Surpris­ ingly, however, relatively little attention has been devoted to an equivalent understanding of the processes and evolution of the land-based fur trade as it unfolded in British Columbia specifically and as it influenced the interior native peoples. It is my intention simply to describe a body of archival and archaeo­ logical data from a portion of the interior of B.C. which, if properly exploited, has the potential to provide significant insights into many of these and other problems. These data concern the early ( 1793-1823) fur- trade period in the Peace River valley of northeastern British Columbia. Lying east of the Rocky Mountain divide, the Peace River district often is neglected in modern southwesterly dominated perceptions of this prov­ ince, but during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries it was at the leading edge of European land-based expansion in Canada and was the main east-west communication route by which new materials and ideas penetrated the intermountain interior. In the remainder of this paper I hope briefly to outline the evolution of the fur trade physical establishment — i.e., forts and trading posts — in the Peace River valley, based on published and unpublished archival data and archaeology.
