BULLPINE BULLPINE 181 Vernon Ave
BULLPINE BULLPINE 181 Vernon Ave. Kamloops, BC - 1-800-482-3459 - steelworkers1-417.ca Summer 2017 Clearwater May Day Parade The theme for The Clearwater May Day Parade this year was Canada 150. A few USW members and Canfor Vavenby staff, along with their families got together for the fifth year to build a float. The theme of our float was: A History of the Vavenby Sawmill. The mill was established in 1941 when Frank Capostinsky came from Alberta on behalf of Bob Swanson and bought a few of the original mills in the valley and set up the company known as CTP (Clearwater Timber Products). In 1986 CTP was bought by Slocan which then merged with and became known as Canfor in 2004. In the mid 1950's the mill unionized and the workers became part of the IWA (International Woodworkers of America) which merged with The United Steelworkers in 2004. A big thank you to all the helpers especially Keith for the design and organization of the work. The figures on top represent the “Loggers Sports Days” the community used to have to celebrate the Forest Industry in the valley. Big Barriere Block Party The second annual Big Barriere Block party was a huge success. Despite the cloudy and rainy weather, approximately 1000 people came out to enjoy the festivities . The action started with a bike rodeo for the kids from 12-2 and continued on with children's games, a vendors market, bouncy castles and live entertainment . The Big Barriere Block Party part 2 was only possible because of amazing sponsors like The United Steelworkers.

Principals Involved in Lucid Plan Aren?T Done with Aurora
This page was exported from - The Auroran Export date: Thu Sep 30 6:36:34 2021 / +0000 GMT Principals involved in Lucid plan aren?t done with Aurora By Brock Weir With Aurora Live! dead in the water, enough time has passed for heads to cool and assess the situation. But George Roche, founder of Lucid Productions, the group that brought forward the Aurora Live! festival isn't completely done with Aurora. 2014, he said, is definitely a possibility. ?I would love to [bid on a festival] if we can get the ?Wild, Wild West' politics and the cynicism projected by [Councillor Chris Ballard] which I believe rises out of the treatment unto the Aurora Jazz Fest organizers,? said Mr. Roche, referring to the war of words between himself and the Councillor while the festival was still on the table. ?We always had a great feeling of working with Aurora and nothing has changed. When things go a little bit sideways obviously politicians start to protect themselves and their own credibility within the Town, but in this case the credibility wasn't protected.? Credibility also took a hit, he claims when Councillor Abel began to get ?demanding? on which bands should take to the stage and how much they should be paid, as well as what he describes as a ?spectacle? being made out of their references. ?2013 is out of the question [for a festival],? he said. ?We're very sorry it didn't go the way we had proposed. It wasn't anything to do with our actions, certainly being the lead writer and the pitchmen for the plan, I certainly wouldn't have done anything to hijack my own proposal.

Canadian Idol!
Voting in Newfoundland and Labrador: Turned off by Canadian Elections? Tune in to Canadian Idol! ALEX MARLAND NEWFOUNDLANDERS AND LABRADORIANS are among the least likely of all Canadi- ans to vote in a federal election. By comparison, turnout in the three nearby Mari- time provinces regularly exceeds the national average. Yet Atlantic Canadians seem to share a common interest in supporting their own in national reality televi- sion programs that allow repeat voting, usually by telephone, in elimination rounds as part of a televised talent search. This article argues that there can be political undertones when Canadians vote as part of the reality television experience. The popularity of CTV’s Canadian Idol contrasts declining engagement in Canadian federal politics. Exploratory data gathered at an Idol audition in St. John’s provides preliminary insights about tele- voting and about young persons’ motivations for becoming contestants. This can help gauge undercurrents of political identity among Idol fans who do not partici- pate in federal elections in Canada, particularly in Newfoundland and Labrador. TURNOUT IN CANADIAN FEDERAL ELECTIONS Official turnout in Canadian federal elections has fallen to new lows in four of the last five contests, including in 2008 when it dipped below 60 percent for the first time. Generally speaking, non-voters are less likely to be on the official list of elec- tors, but are more likely to have lower income, to be new to the country, to have lived a shorter period of time in a community, and to not be contacted by a political party (Blais et al. 2003; Pammett and LeDuc 2003b).
