A small job fair was held at the campus of NVIT on monday, Teck the mining giant that runs the Highland Valley Copper Mine was there . A representative said they would be hiring around the middle of December. A training company/ society for people who would work on the hydro site at Revelstoke and Mica also had a booth, as did the Community Futures Society for the first nations of the Thompson Nicola.

A rep from Western Bio Energy of Richmond BC for their proposed hydro co-gen plant was giving out information. Fred Scott was saying that when the project is approved for permits it will have a strong contact with hydro that prohibits fuel being used that is not green wood waste ie railway ties. The boiler is only capable of taking 1900 degrees and toxins must be burned at higher temperatures \(legally).

There is one toxic waste facility in the province it is in the lower mainland. This project is strictly green and for hydro co gen to the public utility BC Hydro.The plant would be on the Tolko mill site here in Merritt, the company plans public consultations in the next 5 months to accommodate their permitting process.

The VP of business development Fred M. Scott said that it was not to be confused with a proposal that failed 8 years ago which included medical waste. We say that a proposal of some decades ago that generated a ground swell of protest should not be mitigated by this corporate goodwill to ward green coming from the proposal and BC Hydro.That one was for toxic waste and the interest went to a plant in Swan Hills Alberta after being soundly rejected.That proposal was encouraged by then Mayor H.P.Kroeker and his administration that included an economic development officer that was a former used car sales rep. Kroeker still sits as a counselor here after some years as a justice of the peace and after a failed Mayoralty reelection bid.

The job fair was aimed at young people and training opportunities in the resource sector. Nadine Israel, represented BCAMTA as a coach. That organisation is the Aboriginal Mine Training association. www.bcamta.ca

Continuous insurance

Filed under: Enterprize, Recreational Vehicles, Sports and Leisure by Kevin Griffiths — Leave a comment

A Harley motorcycle owner from Saskatchewan was displaying a plate that had a “continuous” expiration date on its plate. When asked he said it is new and if you register for direct payment with your bank account you can display that on your plate. He was happy with that and speculated that they would look you up if there was NSF at renewal time.

The health authority has 3 full-time maintenance people and one part-time. For a 8 bed hospital and with one dormant wing. An extended care facility with 75 beds ; its hard to find published ,the amount.

A young obviously first nation full-time maintenance worker for the city, was chatty this morning about his job saying two days a week its his job to pick up the garbage from the city cans about the city .He said he looks in the top of them for obvious disadvantageous materials such as paraphernalia and needles but never searches them, he considers it a matter of his personal safety. It is good to see a person from his community on full-time for the city as this is Aboriginal awareness week across Canada.

There are numbers of private small maintenance contractors about here including one ex police person who lost his job policing through an unfortunate choice he made to assault a native prisoner.The city enjoys a clean and kept aesthetic through the 5 months of the local growing season. It is working hard at promoting a safe and stable place to spend vacation time.

A great attraction to the lower mainland is the Vancouver Aquarium. A noble cause and an expensive one it has the support of the corporate community. A Van stopping here shows a great Public relations value to its BC Hydro sponsor.We are with in a few hours of the facility and it is often used for field trips and an interest point when visiting outside this small community. We also get a great collage of vehicle traffic stopping here on their way to major centers.

Power pole replacement

Filed under: Enterprize, Government Works, Vegtable soup by Kevin Griffiths — Leave a comment

April 11, 2011

The local power utility yard has been busy replacing power poles in the last few years. When asked, a person on the crew said that sometimes they replace poles completely in a particular area. However most of the replacement comes from the results of drilling and testing poles. The poles have plastic plugs put in them and numbers of them can be seen in some poles.

The telephone company also has lines on some hydro poles lower then the power lines and they must coöperate in maintenance..

About twenty years ago the utility drove galvanised steel beams by some poles and bolted them to the beams.They are not apparently doing that now. And when asked about scheduling the source said he was not aware of any schedule and that it was ad hoc as far as replacement was concerned.

There are two realty outlets here Century 21, and Royal Le page. There is also a do it your self assist, office ,where for about 500 dollars they will help you with advertising. This with a presence that simulates a sales office.

The announcement of major construction coming by at some uncertain time in the future . Has not given any sense of excitement.

The government used these projects in the past to crate certainty for the economy we hope that there will not be unusual delay in the letting of the work to qualified contractor.
