Sept 30 Orange Shirt Day, evolves into a 

National Day for Truth and Reconciliation 

St. Joseph’s Mission Residential School 

survivor Phyllis Webstad witnessed history 

in Ottawa when Bill C-369, a bill proposing 

that September 30 be recognized as a 

National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, 

was presented to congress. That Bill died in 

the senate in 2019. The Bill was re-introduced 

as Bill C-5 which became law in June 

of this year. 

Phyllis, the Founder/Ambassador of 

Orange Shirt Society, shares her story (learn 

more at www.orangeshirtday.org): 

I went to the Mission for one school year 

in 1973/1974. I had just turned 6 years old. 

I lived with my grandmother on the Dog 

Creek reserve. We never had very much 

money, but somehow my granny managed 

to buy me a new outfit to go to the Mission 

school. I remember going to Robinson’s 

store and picking out a shiny orange shirt. 

It had string laced up in front, and was so 

bright and exciting – just like I felt to be 

going to school! 

When I got to the Mission, they stripped 

me, and took away my clothes, including 

the orange shirt! I never wore it again. I 

didn’t understand why they wouldn’t give it 

back to me, it was mine! The color orange 

has always reminded me of that and how my 

feelings didn’t matter, how no one cared and 

how I felt like I was worth nothing. All of us 

little children were crying and no one cared. 

I was 13.8 years old and in grade 8 when 

my son Jeremy was born. Because my 

grandmother and mother both attended 

residential school for 10 years each, I never 

knew what a parent was supposed to be like. 

With the help of my aunt, Agness Jack, I was 

able to raise my son and have him know me 

as his mother. 

I went to a treatment centre for healing 

when I was 27 and have been on this healing 

journey since then. I finally get it, that 

the feeling of worthlessness and insignificance, 

ingrained in me from my first day 

at the mission, affected the way I lived my 

life for many years. Even now, when I know

nothing could be further than the truth, I 

still sometimes feel that I don’t matter. Even 

with all the work I’ve done! 

I am honored to be able to tell my story 

so that others may benefit and understand, 

and maybe other survivors will feel comfortable 

enough to share their stories. 

Today... 

Phyllis Webstad is Northern Secwpemc 

(Shuswap) from the Stswecem’c Xgat’tem 

First Nation (Canoe Creek Indian Band). 

She comes from mixed Secwepemc and 

Irish/French heritage, was born in Dog 

Creek, and lives in Williams Lake, BC. 

Today, Phyllis is married, has one son, a 

step-son and five grandchildren. She is the 

Executive Director of the Orange Shirt Society, 

and tours the country telling her story 

and raising awareness about the impacts 

of the residential school system. She has 

now published two books, the “Orange 

Shirt Story” and “Phyllis’s Orange Shirt” for 

younger children. 

She earned diplomas in Business Administration 

from the Nicola Valley Institute 

of Technology; and in Accounting from 

Thompson Rivers University. Phyllis received 

the 2017 TRU Distinguished Alumni Award 

for her unprecedented impact on local, 

provincial, 

national and 

international 

communities 

through 

the sharing 

of her orange 

shirt story.

Sustainability 

challenge: especially 

for kids 

Talking to children about complex issues, 

like sustainability, can be daunting. Many 

young people are becoming exposed to climate 

change and its impacts through social 

media and conversations around them, making 

it an important discussion for families 

to have to help kids understand and address 

future challenges. 

Sustainability is about building 

a better world for all, ensuring 

resources last for future generations, 

and promoting positive 

environmental and social impact 

focused on eliminating poverty, 

reducing inequalities and fighting 

climate change. 

Scouts Canada is launching 

an eight-week sustainability-themed 

challenge called 

Around the World in 60 Days and 

is inviting young people across 

Canada to join in – they don’t 

have to be Scouts to participate. 

Through fun and engaging 

activities rooted in sustainability, 

children and youth will embark 

on exciting story-driven adventures 

set virtually in eight different 

countries. The activities 

EVERY CHILD 

MATTERS 

will introduce topics such as inequality, food 

security, melting icecaps, mental and physical 

heath; and encourage creative problem 

solving and reflection to drive awareness 

and development outcomes. The challenge 

runs October 4 – November 28, with a video 

released every Monday to launch each weekly 

challenge at scouts.ca/around-the-world. 

Girls, boys and young adults ages 5-26 

can also join Scouts to participate as part 

of a group. Visit scouts.ca to register.

Pennywise Recognizes 

Truth & Reconciliation Day 

September 30 

Pennywise staff have been brainstorming ways to honour 

survivors and help make a difference on this day. 

We have a few ideas to share. 

Attend a relevant event, purchase a book related to the issue, 

take a workshop, or purchase a piece of art from a First Nations artist.

or through Cindy Blackstock at https://fncaringsociety.com

to implement processes to 

confirm proof of vaccination 

so people can enjoy safe and 

fun recreation experiences.” 

According to the order, 

as of Monday, September 13, proof of at

Time-based memberships and punch-passes 

are not being offered at this time. Some amenities 

may not be available at all facilities, or 

there may be limitations to their use. 

“We are trying to make this new process 

as seamless and efficient as possible, 

although it will take a bit more time for 

people to access our facilities—so please be 

patient when you arrive, follow signage and 

follow direction from staff,” said Chirico. 

“On behalf of the Recreation team, thank 

you for your cooperation and understanding, 

and for helping us keep each other safe.”

New supports for 

climate resilience 

Local communities around the Columbia 

Basin care deeply about the environment 

and the impacts of climate change. To support 

Basin communities in preparing for, 

responding to and adapting to challenges 

associated with our changing environment, 

the Trust has created a new Climate Resilience 

Program for collaborative projects in 

the region. 

“People in the region have made it clear 

that the Trust needs to support our communities 

to become more climate resilient 

and we are pleased to announce this new 

program specifically for that purpose,” said 

Johnny Strilaeff, President and CEO of the 

Trust. “We recognize climate resilience as 

an integrated priority in all the work we do, 

and will be announcing further initiatives 

as we continue to address climate resilience 

at a local and regional level.” 

The $1.5-million grant program will 

support large-scale, multi-year initiatives

led by local governments, First Nations 

or non-profits in the Basin. Climate Resilience 

project concepts could include initiatives 

like low-carbon transportation, 

organic waste diversion, flood mitigation, 

alternative energy and emissions, among 

others. On-the-ground actions ready or 

nearly ready to implement will be considered 

rather than projects solely focused on 

education, research or planning. 

This new program is just one of the ways 

the Trust is addressing climate resilience 

in the Basin. To find out more about this 

program and the application process, visit 

ourtrust.org/climateresilience or contact 

climateresilience@ourtrust.org or

and efforts of the people in the Columbia 

Basin. To learn more about the Trust’s 

programs and initiatives, and how it helps

James Edward Green 

October 20, 1945-July 31, 2021 James was born in Kimberley 

BC, the first of four 

children. His parents, Earl and Evelyn 

Green were part of the exodus of 

many young families to the mining 

camp of Riondel in September of 

1949. The purpose of this move was 

to provide workers for the Bluebell 

Mine and populate the town. They 

lived, for those first years, in a tent 

house (wood walls and canvas 

roof), while his father worked in the 

mine by day, and spent any spare 

time constructing their permanent 

home. Over the years, James took 

on the responsibility of all major 

improvements to that original family 

home. 

Upon completion of his education 

at J.A. Cochran/Crawford Bay 

Secondary School, he enrolled at 

the Southern Alberta Institute of 

Technology (S.A.I.T.) in the Culinary 

Chef program. It was there that he 

became proficient in the art of cake 

decorating and a master of the 

piping bag. He created many elaborate 

wedding cakes for family and 

friends in the years that followed. 

At the conclusion of his 2nd year 

It is with sadness that we announce the sudden passing of James Green. 

at S.A.I.T., he earned the award for 

highest marks in his class. 

After working at various hotels in 

Calgary, he returned to BC and cooked 

in camps on Vancouver Island. In the 

late 70's, James made a career change 

by gaining employment with Fording 

Coal at Elkford, BC. He retired after 33 

years as a Shovel Operator, with the 

reputation of consistently loading no 

less than 300 trucks every single shift. 

He took part in many hunting and 

fishing excursions with his dad and 

brothers. Duck hunting was his favorite, 

especially in his younger years. 

Upon his retirement, he began to 

take over the maintenance of the 

family home yard and garden. James 

was particularly proud to enter his 

produce and flowers in the Crawford 

Bay Fall Fair, for which he won numerous 

top awards year after year. James 

was also the primary caregiver for his 

mother, Evelyn, in her later years. 

James was predeceased by his father, 

Earl in 1981, and his mother, Evelyn 

in 2019. He is survived by his sister, 

Connie and her children; Kris (Melanie) 

Kirkham, Kelli Kirkham, K'Arlee 

(Darren) O'Neill and their twins Jack 

& Saoirse, and Dane Morison. His 

brother Fred (Sherlynne) and nephew 

Nick (Laura). 

His youngest brother Richard (Karen) 

and nieces April Green and 

Crystal (Gary) Janzen and their 

daughter Hannah. 

James was a lifelong member of the 

little white catholic church in Riondel, 

to which he faithfully donated the 

flowers for Sunday mass (a practice 

he carried on from his mother). In 

lieu of flowers, should anyone wish 

to do so, a donation to the Most Holy 

Redeemer Church in Riondel would be 

appreciated. 

A private family mass will be conducted 

at the Cathedral of Mary 

Immaculate in Nelson, followed by 

interment in the family plot at Nelson 

Memorial Park. 

A memorial celebration will be held 

in Riondel at a later date, in accordance 

with current guidelines. 

Thompson Funeral Service has been 

entrusted with arrangements. If 

you wish to leave a message of condolence 

for the family, please visit 

https://www.thompsonfs.ca/obituary/james-green/ 

Donald Edward 

MARTIN 

It is with great sadness and 

heartfelt loss that we announce the 

passing of our dad Donald Edward 

Martin at the age of 84, on September 10th 2021 with 

family at his side, at Columbia View Lodge. 

He leaves behind and will be forever and deeply missed 

by his son Mark (Mary Ellen), daughter Marlese (Kevin), 

grandchildren; Andrew (Ashley), Kayla, Kassandra and 

Alixandria as well as his great-grandchildren Aaliyah 

and Rylan, sister Nancy (Dick) and all of his nieces and 

nephews. He has now joined his wife Joan, son David, 

brother Bruce, brother Allen and his wife Karen and 

their son Jeff. 

Don was a mechanic and a jack of all trades. He loved 

tinkering as well as fishing, golfing, travelling south, and 

relaxing in the comfort of his home. 

We would like to thank all the amazing staff at Columbia 

View Lodge who provided compassionate care to both 

Dad and Mom. 

A celebration of life will be held for both Mom and Dad 

at a later date at Woodbury Resort on Kootenay Lake 

once Covid Restrictions are lifted. 

As an expression of sympathy, donations may be made 

in Dad’s honour to Columbia View Lodge, Trail, BC. 

You are invited to leave a personal message of condolence 

at the family’s online register at www.myalternatives.ca

Hearing loss and 

dementia 

During September’s World Alzheimer’s 

Month, the Alzheimer Society of BC is raising 

awareness across the Kootenays of many 

aspects of dementia, including brain health 

and risk reduction. 

Mild levels of hearing loss may increase 

the risk of cognitive decline and dementia. 

Though it is still unclear how exactly 

it affects cognitive decline, hearing loss 

can lead to social isolation, loss of independence, 

and problems with everyday 

activities. 

The Alzheimer Society of B.C. has invited 

clinical neuropsychologist Kate Dupuis to 

explain the connections between hearing 

loss and dementia at a September 22 webinar. 

Kootenay residents who watch will hear 

about potential treatment options and strategies 

for individuals experiencing hearing 

loss. They’ll also learn how care partners 

can advocate for and support people living 

with dementia in accessing hearing care. 

What can you do to reduce the risk of 

developing dementia? 

• Have annual hearing evaluations. • Avoid 

listening to music too loudly. • Avoid being 

continually exposed to loud sounds. • Ask

to help you remove it. • Make sure you use 

hearing aids if hearing becomes a problem. 

• Check batteries and fit of hearing aids 

regularly.

Kootenay Lake predator 

prey balance 

What is the background of the predator-prey imbalance 

in the main Kootenay Lake Fishery? 

Gordie Grunerud, President of the West Arm Outdoors 

Club summarizes: “Prior to 2010, Kootenay Lake fisheries 

were in balance. The return of Rainbow trout to Gerrard 

spawning area averaged 350-450 spawners per year and 

kokanee returns averaged 0.5 -1.2 million. When in balance, 

the number of predators caught each year averaged 

about 25,000.” These numbers are based on the FLNRORD 

ministry update from January 2021. 

Science-based efforts to maintain the predator-prey 

balance in Kootenay Lake had been going on for decades 

prior to 2010. For example, in the 1980s, fisheries scientists 

noted declining nutrients that are important for kokanee 

survival. As a result, Kootenay Lake has been “fertilized” 

with these nutrients since the 1980s to support the kokanee 

and therefore the trout. 

But, according to Grunerud and the January 2021 ministry 

update, “The numbers of Gerrard trout started to 

increase and peaked in 2012 at 1,600 (3-4 times the 50-year 

average). With the increased number of predators, scientists 

and fishers saw a rapid decline in kokanee to only 

12,000 in 2017, way down from the more than 1 million 

returning kokanee in 2012. The reported catch numbers 

of Rainbow and Bull trout was also decreasing. In 2018, 

approximately 3,400 Rainbow and Bull trout were caught – 

well below the average of 25,000 per year of previous years.” 

Gerrard Rainbow and Bull trout populations had 

increased so much their predation forced kokanee to near 

extinction, and consequently the predators decreased in 

size and condition. The FLNRORD ministry states: “Abundant 

kokanee predators [Gerrard Rainbow and Bull trout] 

are the main factor in kokanee collapse and continue to 

significantly reduce kokanee survival.”

Would your acreage benefit from soil amendment? 

Mercer Celgar is looking for landowners with 2 or more acres within 55 km 

that would benefit from using their Celgrow soil amendment. Pastures and 

hay fields are good options. 

Mercer Celgar will cover the costs of a Qualified Professional performing 

soil sampling, obtaining government authorization and delivery costs of Celgrow 

soil amendment based on access with a large truck/pup combination. 

Acreage should be able to accommodate at least 6 truck/pup loads. The two 

major components of Celgrow are individual wood fibres lost from the pulping 

process and surplus bacteria from the wastewater biological treatment 

facility. Wood fibres enhance soil moisture retention and bacteria are a good 

source of soil nutrients. The landowner is responsible for spreading and incorporating 

Celgrow into their soil.

Predator/prey... cont’d from pg 15 

By 2018, “Predators were actually eating themselves out 

of house and home, and fishing effort had greatly declined,” 

stated Gord. “No more trophy-sized fish were being caught.” 

“In a similar fishery challenge in Idaho, Lake Pend Oreille 

biologists knew what to do. Using a multifaceted approach 

to predator reduction, it took them just six years to bring 

back a balance between predators and prey,” says Andrusak. 

Today many former Kootenay Lake anglers travel to Idaho 

instead of being able to fish their heritage and support local 

businesses. 

How does the Kootenay Lake Angler Incentive Program 

fit in? 

In 2019, the WAOC had become frustrated with lack 

of ministry action to implement measures to reset the 

imbalance. “Timid regulation changes were made with little 

action towards seriously reducing the predators,” says 

Andrusak. 

Based on the science from Lake Pend Oreille’s Fish 

Recovery Project, the West Arm Outdoors Club took action 

in 2020. They secured funding from Habitat Conservation 

Trust Foundation and the Freshwater Fisheries Society of 

B.C. to launch the KLAIP aimed at reducing predator numbers 

by providing major prize incentives for fishers to keep 

more trout and char. In the first year of the project, 12,000 

trout and char were retained, a considered success story. 

“The West Arms Outdoor Club remains deeply concerned 

that kokanee recovery is moving too slowly. After 

nearly ten years there has been no appreciable change to 

kokanee numbers. The science-based solution is at hand: 

reduce the predators to the point when kokanee survival in 

the lake starts to increase,” writes Grunerud. 

Andrusak says: “The ministry seems paralyzed to implement 

what the science already tells us as evidenced with the 

Lake Pend Oreille story. The Pend Oreille Project did not 

just rely on angler derbies to reduce the number of predatory 

trout; they also used gill netting and trapping for predator 

reduction, and yearly egg planting to increase kokanee. 

On Kootenay Lake the ministry seems to want to rely solely 

on the club’s (WAOC) project.” 

The WAOC has stated that its project is only part of the 

solution, and that the ministry must do a great deal more. 

Short-term kokanee egg plants and aggressive removal of 

predators must be done to return Kootenay Lake back to 

the once world-renowned fishery for giant Rainbow trout. 

How can fishers help? 

Phone and write to the Honourable Katrine Conroy, the 

Minister of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations 

and Rural Development and call for concrete action on further 

removal of predators and regular planting of kokanee 

eggs in spawning channels. Here are the BCWF Best Practices
