Stats Canada released population information from the 2011 Census on February 8, and the numbers show a decline in population for Prince Rupert and the North Coast. According to the census, the population in the City of Prince Rupert fell from 12,815 in 2006 to 12,508 in 2011, a drop of 307 people equal to 2.4 per cent. The Prince Rupert agglomeration count,

◆ CENSUS REACTION

Skepticism over census data showing population decrease Continued from page 1 If you compare the numbers to previous censuses a different picture emerges. In the 2001 to 2006 census, Prince Rupert’s population shrunk by 12.5 per cent, and between 1996 and 2001 the population dropped by almost the same amount: 12.4 per cent. So, while StatsCan says that Prince Rupert’s population may not have grown, the rate at which the community is losing people has slowed significantly. According to the Prince Rupert Economic Development Corporation, it’s no surprise that fewer people are leaving town since Fairview Terminal opened. “It’s not ideal circumstances in the fact that the population has decreased, but when you look at the long-term trend you see a slow-down in the decline...With a nine per cent difference that steepness isn’t there anymore. I think you can contribute a lot of that to a rebound in the economy related to the development of the port in the past few years,” said economic development officer Derek Baker. But not everyone is happy with the figures being provided. The mayor of Prince Rupert, Jack Mussallem, isn’t convinced that the numbers truly reflect the reality in the city. The numbers need to be taken with a grain of salt, says Mussallem, because this was the first census where the data collection was not mandatory and the questions scaled back to make them less intrusive. The debate over the “short-form census”

was one of the biggest political drama’s of the last federal parliament. The ruling Conservatives proposed - and ultimately succeeded - to scale the census down in order to make it less intrusive into the lives of ordinary Canadians. The Opposition, StatsCan and other organizations that depend on the data the census provides argued that by making the census voluntary and less detailed would create less reliable data for the government and others to use. The sentiment was so strong that director of StatsCan, Munir Sheikh, very publicly resigned over the issue. While most concerns about accuracy were about more detailed data such as national poverty levels, Mussallem says he doubts that the short-form census can be trusted even when it comes to local population levels. “I wonder about how thorough they were. Had they had more people here doing follow-up as if it were mandatory, I think the numbers wouldn’t have changed so much.” “Over a whole community of 12,000 people with a 300 difference [since 2006], you could lose that in the transient population we have during the summer season with the fishing going on...I question the accuracy of it and wonder really if the population overall isn’t that much bigger,” says Mussallem. The mayor says that the city has been getting mixed messages about the state of its population. During the spring of 2011, the mayor says that the city was congratulated

by the Provincial Government for growing the population by 996 people. Not even a population analyst from the province’s own statistics agency, BC Statistics, could say where that figure came from. According to their numbers, Prince Rupert’s population at the end of last year was 12,935 which represented a 0.4 per cent drop since 2006. While not as big a drop as what the census says, it certainly is not an increase of just almost 1,000 people. The fact that the figures are different isn’t surprising since the two studies use different methods of determining how big the population is. BC Statistics makes their estimate based largely on the number of hydro hook-ups and health coverage applications

from a given area, while the official census is not an estimate but a count; meaning that its number is based on the information given in the filled-out census questionnaires. The reason the census population data matters is because it determines where and how much government money flows. Everything from federal transfers to municipal policy planning are all affected in one way or another by the census data. “The census is important because in terms of policing costs, in terms of how much money the City of Prince Rupert is allocated from various entities are based on census figures. These census figures could be a little light,” says Mussallem.

OPINION

MY VIEW…

Looking at the census numbers... Before I get into the crux of this editorial, hats off to everyone involved in the All Native Basketball Tournament. It was great to be there to see the Skidegate Saints take their first Seniors title, to see the Prince Rupert masters win the banner on home court and, perhaps most of all, to witness the greatest game I’ve ever seen at the tournament in the final between Port Simpson and Ahousaht. They may have come up just short, but what an amazing effort and a great showing the Port Simpson boys put on this year. Now onto the subject at hand: The 2011 census. The release of the February 8 population numbers was something I had been anticipating for quite some time. I had heard rumours that Prince Rupert had fallen quite drastically and heard, as documented on page two, that Prince Rupert had grown by about 1,000 people. Being in the media, I always want to find out the truth of the matter, and the truth wasn’t too bad. Seeing a population drop is never a good thing, and with all of the activity going on in the community, the drop of over 300 people wasn’t something I was necessarily expecting. I know people who have left or are planning to leave, but I also know people who are new to town. I was expecting either a small increase or a small decrease. But let’s put things in perspective here: During the last 10 years leading up to this year’s census the population in town dropped by almost 25 per cent following the closure of the mill and challenges related to the commercial fishing

industry. Losing 25 per cent of your population - or one in four people leaving town - is a sign of a town that is in serious trouble. Compared to being in double digit decline in 2001 and 2006, a drop of 2.4 per cent is certainly tolerable. It means the exodus has largely stopped. People aren’t leaving

town, they are starting to find opportunities here. And based on everything that is potentially coming down the pipe in the next five years - Canpotex, Phase II, wood pellets, RTI expansion - I expect we’ll see a noticeable reversal of the decline in 2016.

2012 will bring increased opportunity with social media A couple of news stories over the past week have really demonstrated that 2012 will bring an ever-increasing explosion in social media, with ever-shifting implications for marketers. Dramatic proof of this was offered at the end of January by Procter & Gamble, the world’s largest marketing agency. P&G CEO Bob McDonald noted that “with things like Facebook and Google and others, we find that the return on investment of the advertising, when properly designed, when the big idea is there, can be much more efficient. One example is our Old Spice campaign, where we had 1.8 billion free impressions.” Of course there was a blast back from agency marketers, responding to the implication that social media advertising is free. Bob Hoffman, president of GearonHoffman in Boston, was reported in Business Insider as saying, “Twitter and Facebook advertising is not free... Social media programs are not free. Far from it. In fact, managing and maintaining digital advertising and creating and monitoring

social sites takes roughly twice Talking tourism numbers. Consider just Facebook: The numbers are now almost a the manpower as broadcast and year old, but as of June 2011, 96 online display advertising.” per cent of online Americans were That’s perfectly true, but using Facebook and one out of P&G’s actual message, in every eight minutes online was laying off 1,600 staffers, was spent on Facebook. It thus becomes that Facebook and Google very significant that 55 per cent were “more efficient” than the of Facebook users sought travel traditional media that has in the BRUCE WISHART advice from the site. 69 per cent past eaten the bulk of their $10 of online shoppers said they trusted billion annual ad budget. And there’s no question that P&G’s Old Spice the Internet for advice, versus 43 per cent campaign demonstrates exactly what can be for magazines and 35 per cent for TV, and 78 per cent of Internet users conduct product done with well-planned social media work. There is no doubt that even just Facebook research before making a purchase. And as alone offers the greatest marketing of the summer of 2011, the average person opportunity ever. There were 845 million had upped their time spent on social media monthly active users, and 483 million daily sites by 66 per cent over the year previous. active users, as of December 2011. Eighty Add to this that new platforms are rising per cent of those users are outside the US up at a dizzying rate. Any Facebook user and Canada, and Facebook is available in knows that Pinterest has suddenly exploded more than 70 languages. onto personal timelines. According to an ReviewPro, an online analytic tool article last week in Entrepreneur magazine, designed to help hotels manage their online Pinterest, just launched in 2010, had seven reputation, offers some very revealing million unique visitors in December – up

from 1.6 million in September – and is driving more traffic to company websites and blogs than YouTube, Google+ and LinkedIn combined. And Path, launched in late 2010, somewhere between Twitter, Facebook, Foursquare and Instagram and far more intimate than any of them, has two million users as of this month. They grabbed the Best Design award at last month’s Crunchies, the celebrated tech awards, for their clean interface (a triumph, by the way, for Prince Rupert-born founding partner Dustin Mierau). I image that it would be no exaggeration to say that new apps are being developed daily, and we have no idea which of them will go viral with consumers over the coming months. For small businesses, and for small destination such as Prince Rupert, we have no choice but to do our best to ride the wave. Because the one thing that’s perfectly clear is that social media is where our potential customers are spending their time.

◆ FEATURE, PART 2 OF 2

Service providers can’t please everyone, Salvation Army By Alan S. Hale The Northern View Part one published in Northern View on February 8, 2012. Full article available on www.thenorthernview. com There is also a mental-health advisory committee made up of those who have used the services and their families, who meet once a month to gather concerns and feedback from other patients about the services. The committee reports to Melia and his superiors. “It allows people who use these services to have a very strong voice.” Melia says that his department would also be interested in attending the meeting being considered by city council. One group is a bit more skeptical. It’s not that there are no resources available to people, its getting people to actually use them that’s the problem says the Prince Rupert Salvation Army. The Salvation Army is perhaps the biggest non-governmental organization helping the needy in Prince Rupert today. They run the food bank, shelters and many different charity drives that help not just the disabled but also addicts, the working poor and the

homeless. Ken Copping used to live on the street himself but now runs the Prince Rupert food bank. He says that as far as small communities go, Prince Rupert has a lot of services available for people in need for whatever reason, but these services have their limitations and procedures that need to be followed. It’s just the way things are and so they can’t make everyone happy all the time. For instance, the need to call a 1-800 number to get help instead of seeing someone face-to-face may not be ideal, says Copping, but its not as big a problem as people make it out to be. “It’s not easy – I grant that -- to phone that 1-800 number. It probably took me three attempts in 45 minutes. So I can understand, but in less than 15 minutes [of getting someone on the phone] the client’s needs were met,” says Copping. “Nobody in society likes to wait. It’s an instantaneous age; everything has to happen instantly.” Many complaints about services emerge when people can’t or won’t accept the limitations and conditions of what is being provided, says Copping. The legal system, for instance, has rules and guidelines on

what is fair when punishing someone, but the person actually going to jail may not think they’re all that fair, and the person hearing about the sentence may not think it’s not long enough. Pleasing everyone who need social services is just as impossible. “We rent rooms from the Raffles Inn and some people say ‘haven’t you got a better hotel than that? I’ve been in there and I don’t really prefer that.’ I tell them ‘fine, but you tell me what other hotel is going to give us a contract saying that whoever falls out of the sky can have a room there.’ It’s not the most modern or the greatest place in town, but the challenge is that we need to be satisfied with what we have” says Copping. The Salvation Army believes that people looking to city council to help change legitimate problems with services in Prince Rupert are looking in the wrong place. Only lobbying for policy change from the provincial government will produce and real solutions to these problems. “There’s no question that there are problems. Having to call down to Vancouver or wherever that 1-800 number ends up is ludicrous. But that’s a government issue, we’re not going to solve that,” says Cpt.

Gary Shiels. With that in mind they are skeptical, that anything of value would be accomplished by sitting down service providers and clients in a room to discuss service delivery problems. The group favours a suggestion made by Mayor Jack Mussallem that would have council talk to clients separately to gauge what the problems they want addressed are, and then coordinating a lobbying effort with service providers, MLA Gary Coons and MP Nathan Cullen. Every group the Prince Rupert Northern View talked to for this article had one issue that they felt needed to be addressed in Prince Rupert that had a profound effect on all of their services: housing. “There are housing gaps for seniors, housing gaps when it comes to affordable housing, there’s a housing gap when it comes to transitional housing, there’s a housing gap when it comes to a stand-alone shelter for men, and that’s the problem,” said Cpt. Gary Shiels. The Prince Rupert Northern View contacted BC Housing asking them to participate in this article but no one was provided to speak on the issue before this story went to press.

◆ ENBRIDGE NORTHERN GATEWAY

Prince Rupert could be Plan B if the pipeline is denied By Alan S. Hale The Northern View The CEO of Enbridge Inc., Pat Daniel, says if his company isn’t able to build the Northern Gateway Pipeline to Kitimat, the company would examine the possibility of having the Pipeline go to Prince Rupert instead. “We will relook at [Prince] Rupert, we will do whatever we can to find the best solution for Canada, but our information and our engineering studies and environmental studies suggest that Kitimat is the best location,” Daniel said during an interview with Reuters in China. The company did include a plan for having the pipeline go to Prince Rupert as a possible alternative to Kitimat in their application to the National Energy Board. The plan is not detailed -- which isn’t surprising since the plan was rejected in

favour of Kitimat rivers would be exposed to challenging – but it would hydrotechnical issues, have the pipeline and to avalanches and head to Prince rock slides in the narrow Rupert, which was valleys.

that their CEO was just answering a hypothetical question from a reporter, and that the company feels that the best and safest option for the pipeline is to end in Kitimat. Daniel was one of over 40 different Canadian executives taken along with Prime Minister Stephen Harper on his official visit to China. Reuters also asked him if his company would need to offer First Nations groups more when trying to negotiate deals with them. Despite that the only First Nation to publicly sign a deal with them, the Gixsan, just as publicly withdrew from it a few weeks later, Daniel says that the 10 per cent stake in the pipeline being offered is generous enough. “We think the financial package we’re offering is very, very strong, so we don’t have any intent (or) consideration on changing that,” Daniel told Reuters.

proved up to the task and the teams were tied at 18 through five minutes. After the first quarter, Ahousaht led 30-24. Ahousaht continued to lead through five minutes, but Skidegate came back. The first half ended with the promise of an exciting conclusion and Skidegate led by just a single basket, 52-50. In the third though, Skidegate started to pull away from Ahousaht, who had been in a battle with Masset earlier in the day at the semi-finals. Midway through the third Skidegate led by five, but by the time the buzzer sounded that lead had extended to 75-60. From there Skidegate outpaced the Ahousaht team, leaving the result no

longer in question in the fourth. Skidegate led by 18 through five minutes, and ended up taking their first Senior title by a final score of 107-81. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It feels really good. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a number of years since we won and we never won a Seniors Division title...Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little disappointing that Hydaburg didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t show up, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not our problem. They may have different priorities or whatever, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not us. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not worrying about what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing, but we were ready to play them,â&#x20AC;? said MVP and Mr. Hustle Desi Collinson, who said he was reflecting on the win and all the years that went into it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This win isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just about basketball, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about more than basketball. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about everybody thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s from Haida Gwaii or from Skidegate. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more than a championship, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about a community uniting.â&#x20AC;? Masset finished third and Vancouver finished fourth. Luke Robinson of Ahousaht was named Best Defensive Player and Most Inspirational Player and Wade Collinson of Skidegate won the Sixth Man Award. All-stars included Darcy Pearson and Jared Casey of Skidegate, Waylon Swan and Travis Thomas of Ahousaht, Chris Campbell and Tyler York of Massett, Shawn White and John Sutherland of Vancouver, Shawn Gladstone of Bella Bella and Phillip Gamble of Kitkatla.

The Nanaimo Spirit captured their first All Native Basketball Tournament championship with a 20=point win over the defending champions from Kitamaat.

Nanaimo takes Women’s title By Shaun Thomas The Northern View

“My mom won it before and was named MVP, so it was fitting that this year we won and I won the MVP trophy.”

The defending c h a m p i o n Kitamaat ladies found themselves once again in the finals of the All Native Basketball Tournament, this Brittney Williams time having gone through the back door to face the unbeaten Nanaimo Spirit for the title. The always vocal Haisla fans wasted no time in getting behind their team, filling the gym with chants from the opening tip off. Nanaimo led by three midway through the first quarter, and with a strong offence doubled up on the Haisla Ladies with a score of 16-8 through the first 10 minutes of play. That momentum continued in the second the Spirit opened up a 16 point, 25-9 lead through the first five minutes, and they took a 31-18 lead into the final frame. The Spirit showed no sign of letting up in the third, leading by as many as 20 points and taking a commanding 50-31 lead into the final 10 minutes of play. In the fourth the Haisla offense started to chip away at the lead, cutting it to as low as 11 to the joy of the deafening crowd, but the Spirit pushed through and pulled away to take a 22 point, 6947 victory for their first women’s championship banner. “It was a great tournament,” said MVP and Best Defensive Player Brittney Williams, who almost didn’t make it due to a death in the family but got the blessing from her family to attend. “This is the first time we’ve won the All Native Tournament. My mom won it before and was named MVP, so it was fitting that this year we won and I won the MVP trophy.” Metlakatla Alaska finished third and the Rain finished fourth. Shayla Schooner of Bella Bella was named Ms. Hustle, Chantelle Thomas of Nanaimo was named Most Promising Player, Jenny Nyce of Kitamaat was given the Sixth Man award, Miranda Ross of Kitamaat was named Most Inspirational Player and Judy Carlick-Pearson was named high scorer. Tournament all-stars included Jeanine Adams and Jolene Nagy of Nanaimo, Judy Carlick-Pearson and Denise Wilson of Metlakatla BC, Desiree Good of Lytton, Adelia Paul and Katelyn Stewart of Kitamaat, Katelynn Smart and Kristen Helin of the Rain and Lisa Clifton of Bella Bella. Lytton was named the Most Sportsmanlike team.

◆ CULTURAL PERFORMANCE

Performers Society hosting fifteenth annual Celtic Night By Martina Perry The Northern View Some 15 years have passed since the North Coast Performers Society first held Celtic Night in Prince Rupert. Today, it is one of the few remaining European cultural events occurring annually in the community, with Celtic Night taking place at the Lester Centre of the Arts on Saturday, February 25. “Celtic Night will have a bit of everything… a real smorgasbord of talents, styles and genres,” said Ken Shaw, who has organized Celtic Night every year since it began. The family-oriented performance will include a number of musical guests, as well as dancing from cultural backgrounds such as Irish and Scottish. Headlining the musical performances for the evening will be Twisted String, a large group made up of musicians of all ages.
