Council voted to add seven new partners to the multi-party contract to validate the construction cost estimate for Fort St. John’s proposed new aquatic facility and indoor fieldhouse at their June 22 regular meeting.

The multi-party contract and subsequent validation report will firm up both the design and the construction costs of the proposed facility, ahead of the planned referendum in October, when the city’s taxpayers will decide whether to approve borrowing of up to $90 million for the $185 million project.

“Our validation report that we’re creating is going to take us up to just before final design, confirm out $185 million budget, and because we’re using the Integrated Project Delivery model, most of this is done in meetings,” Deputy Chief Administrative Officer Darrell Blades explained to Council. “Starting in July, we’ll have weekly big room meetings; they’ll be virtually and in-person. Those meetings, as we go over the whole aspects of it and define the risk registry, [will] narrow down the costs, any unknowns that all come out.”

This process is a new one for the City, which has so far only used the IPD model to design and construct the new 106^th Street Reservoir.

“At the end of the day, it gives us better value and more firm answers, very similar to the best value process that we use for some of our stuff,” Blades added. “A lot of unknows are identified in these meetings.”

Of the seven new partners that are being added, two have local roots – D. Bauer Mechanical Ltd., and Urban Systems Ltd. The other new additions including Read Jones Christofferson Ltd. (structural engineering partner), Apri’s North Inc. (mechanical trade partner), Spartan Steel Ltd. (structural trade partner), AME Consulting Group Ltd. (mechanical engineering partner), and Westcana Electric Inc. (electrical trade partner) are all based in Western Canada, while WSP Canada Inc (electrical engineering partner) is based in Montreal.

These partners are required to get a validated and accurate construction budget and gain momentum into the upcoming 2027 construction season. Delays in starting construction will likely lead to cost escalation.

“The intent of this [process] is that everybody’s in the same room together and finalising the design together, taking on the risk together, understanding profit margins together. So, it’s a very open and transparent process,” Blades said.

During the weekly meetings, each component will be broken down and allow partners to dig into the fine details, in what Blades describes as a “risk registry” rather than a simple contingency plan.

“In a lot of our projects there’s a contingency and there’s change orders and all that. In this process there should be very little stuff that happens after we finalise and start construction, because it was all walked through in tabletops and meetings and design changes.”

The parties will be working towards solutions ahead of time, rather than trying to deal with changes during construction.

Council also voted to transfer $1.2 million from Capital Reserves to finance the cost of the construction estimate validation for the proposed facility.

This money is part of the $185 million budget, Blades said, not in addition to, they’re just spending it earlier.

“There’s a ceiling cap of $185 million, with the intent to get the costs lower through this process,” he said.

Borrowing bylaw gets first three readings

The City is moving forward on another aspect of the project development, preparing a Loan Authorization Bylaw for approval by the Inspector of Municipalities.

To that end, Council gave first three readings to the Aquatic Facility Loan Authorization Bylaw No. 2635, 2026 at the June 22 regular meeting, which authorizes the City to borrow up to $90 million of an estimated $185 million project cost, over a maximum borrowing term of 30 years.

By giving the bylaw first three readings, the City has taken the first step in the statutory process to seek approval for long-term borrowing to support the construction of the proposed Aquatic Facility.

Corporate Officer Bonnie McCue explained this step doesn’t mean the City is authorizing borrowing before going to a referendum:

“This is the first step in a process of potential borrowing, which will go to the elector approval at the October 17, 2026, general election, where voters will be given a yes or no question whether or not to approve borrowing up to this amount.

“The bylaw is read for the first three times by Council at this stage, which is then passed on to the Inspector of Municipalities for their approval, and proceed with the vote in the fall.”

Once the approvals from the Inspector of Municipalities and the voters are received, the City will have the authority to go ahead with the long-term borrowing as part of the project’s financing strategy.

Let’s Talk page now includes property tax calculator

While council members previously maintained that municipal capital projects don’t directly rely on the city’s property tax base, pointing instead to transfers like the Peace River Agreement, the introduction of the new Aquatics Facility tax calculator marks a shift in the conversation. If the Loan Authorization Bylaw is approved by the Inspector of Municipalities, and the project passes referendum in October, local taxpayers will be directly responsible for servicing up to $90 million in long-term debt over the next 30 years.

The potential impact to taxpayers has been presented in the City’s project materials from the March 23, 2026, Committee of the Whole meeting, when staff outlined the potential tax impacts of a loan between $60 million and $90 million on property owners. The new online tax calculator brings the public-facing narrative into alignment with the original technical realities, giving residents a clear look at what a 30-year municipal obligation will mean for their households and businesses.

Accompanying the Property Tax Calculator is a chart detailing the three potential Funding Scenarios as presented to Council on March 23. In it, residential tax increases range from $17.68/month for a $60 million loan, to $26.53/month for $90 million. Similarly, businesses could see tax increases from $137.41/month to $206.10/month.

The work that the design team is undertaking will firm up the cost of the project and the impact to taxpayers through the validation process, which will provide the City and taxpayers with a more concrete Class C or B estimates, before the project goes to referendum on October 17.

This year’s Canada Day celebrations kicked off in Centennial Park on June 30th with Movies in the Park, followed by a Drone Show. This was the first year a drone show has been tried, to give residents a celebratory light show, which has been missing in the past few years following the cancellation of the city’s usual Fireworks Show due to drought conditions.

Canada Day itself began with a Pancake Breakfast at the Fire Hall, followed by the Parade, as well as activities and events in Centennial Park, including the Classic Cruisers Car Show, musical performances from a variety of local bands, and dance performances in the street outside Festival Plaza.

Here are a few moments captured from the very well-attended Parade:

Locals from all walks of life now have a place to build confidence, stability, community connections and readiness for employment at a newly launched community-based employment service, The Landing Place.

Wherever you are in your journey towards employment readiness; whether you are experiencing mental health challenges, substance use or homelessness, the Landing Place, located at 10328 101 Avenue, next to the Northeast Native Advancing Society (NENAS) offices is there for you.

The services offered at the Landing Place – providing one-to-one support to help connect people to community services and take small steps towards employment readiness – spring directly from the service’s motto: “Start where you are, we’ll meet you there.”

“We’re here to welcome everyone who’s seeking stabilisation in the community,” said Anne McMenamin, Client Services Manager with Employment Connections North Corp., which runs The Landing Place. “We’re here for whatever it is that they need to fill in any gaps that are not already present in the community, in the services that are here.”

Staffed by what McMenamin describes as “two amazing community navigators,” the Landing Place “will walk hand-in-hand with the individuals that present themselves to us.”

The Landing Place offers flexible, trauma-informed and culturally safe services. The importance of culture in the journey towards employment was illustrated at the official opening on June 24, when Dane-Zaa Elder, song keeper and artist Garry Oker of Doig River First Nation addressed the crowd.

Oker spoke of the importance of blessings and drum songs; how he was taught as a child that your song was ahead of you, and you have “to look for it” – Mekaanetacha.

“Our human experience is to look for the things we want,” Oker said. “Once we find it, then we’ll be able to fulfill the things we need in order to solve the problem or give somebody what they need.”

Through a drum song and blessing, Oker said he “asked the Creator to bless our minds, bless our hearts, and bless our hands to create the things we need to create for the future.”

Click to hear Garry Oker’s drum song and blessing:

“We always talk about blessings because we want to by able to sing these songs ahead of time. So, by the time we get to that destination, it’s blessed and ready to go, for whatever wish that we have to accomplish,” Oker explained. “That’s why it’s important to understand the foundation of our drum songs.”

For Community-based Employment Services, at your own pace, without judgement or pressure, stop by The Landing Place between 9:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday throughout July, except Canada Day.

For more information, you can reach The Landing Place at 250-261-2753 or by email at thelandingplace@employmentconnections.bc.ca.

From city councillors to MPs and MLAs, the 2276 Royal Canadian Army Cadets Corps has been creating community leaders, armed forces members and empowered youth to devote themselves to public service for eight decades.

The gymnasium at Margaret Ma Murray Community School was filled with cadets past and present, as well as families for the 80^th Annual Ceremonial Review on May 30. During the ACR, Commanding Officer Major Dan Davies shared some of the corps’ unique history.

Founded in 1946 as the Canadian Army Service Corps, over the past 80 years, the 2276 RCACC has been affiliated with not only the Rocky Mountain Rangers and now the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry but also has the rare association with an Air Force Unit, the 450 and 447 Helicopter Squadrons.

Rounding out the connection to all branches of the armed forces, this year’s reviewing officer was Captain Robert Watt, Director of Naval Strategy with the Royal Canadian Navy. Captain Watt presented the Top Cadet of the Year and the Lord Strathcona Medal to cadets during the awards ceremony following the review.

After the festivities at MMCS, the corps assembled at the Legion, where cadets exercised their Freedom of the City – bestowed upon the corps in April 2006 on its 60^th Anniversary by then-Mayor Jim Eglinski – by marching from the Legion to City Hall, where Major Davies accepted a commemorative declaration from Mayor Lilia Hansen.

Major Davies says he’s proud of the dedication and enthusiasm shown by not only the cadets, but everyone associated with the program. With two new recruits joining the corps recently, the coming year already promises to be an exciting and busy one.

Back in September, Dr. Kearney metalwork and robotics teacher William McColm promised his students they wouldn’t just learn valuable skills – they’d build something they could actually use and enjoy. On Friday, May 29, that promise came to life with School District 60’s first-ever Go Kart Rodeo at Dr. Kearney Middle School.

The 14 club members put months of hard work on display as they zipped around the track all day, with students from other schools stopping by to have a go on the go karts. Despite steady rain, the event ran almost without a hitch – there were no crashes, and only one broken belt. Fortunately, McColm had a spare ready, and the kart was back on the track in short order.

None of this would have been possible without generous community support. In response to earlier media coverage, local donations helped raise $3,250 for materials and equipment for the 2025/26 program, McColm told The Broken Typewriter.

In two presentations, local groups representing diverse sectors of the community came before Council to request support.

First up was the Northeastern BC Accessibility Committee, represented by long-time accessibility advocate Lori Slater. Committee members are dedicated to addressing accessibility issues, barriers and finding solutions for residents and visitors with a wide variety of disabilities. Disabilities which can make accessing buildings, recreational opportunities or even walking down the sidewalk difficult, depending on what challenges one faces.

In recent years, there have been improvements in accessibility throughout the city, Slater said, including the North Peace Cultural Centre theatre, which underwent a renovation during Covid and saw the previous seating arrangement in the theatre made more accessible by enabling seats in the front row to be removed for wheelchair access. Previously, theatre-goers using wheelchairs were could only sit on the sides of the theatre.

As part of the AccessAbility Week proclamation, Slater also requested that Wednesday, June 3 be proclaimed Easter Seals Red Shirt Day for AccessAbility and Inclusion. This is a day for Canadians to come together to show support for Canadians living with disabilities and their families, to celebrate their achievements and pledge to create a fully accessible and inclusive society.

Continuing with the inclusion theme for the week of May 30 to June 6, was the presentation and proclamation request from the North Peace Pride Society.

The North Peace Pride Society is looking forward to celebrating its 11th Anniversary this year, with Pride Week, which kicks off with a Pride Dance on May 30th at the North Peace Cultural Centre, and culminating with the Pride Walk and Festival at Centennial Park on Saturday, June 6.

More than 90,000 Canadians are living with Multiple Sclerosis, and each one is affected differently.

Canada has the highest incidence rates of MS in the world, and each day, 12 Canadians are diagnosed with MS. Multiple Sclerosis is a neurological disease of the central nervous system which includes the brain, spinal cord and optic nerves.

Its most common symptoms include fatigue, lack of coordination, weakness, tingling, impaired sensation, vision problems, bladder and bowel problems, as well as cognitive and mood changes.

Thanks to the efforts of MS Canada Ambassadors like Fort St. John’s Sherri Mytopher, through fundraisers and awareness campaigns advances are being made in resources, support, education and treatments for people living with MS. Ten million dollars annually goes into research for MS from the MS Walks fundraiser.

Recently, Mytopher told Fort St. John City Council during her April 13 presentation, there have been some big wins for people living with MS.

In November 2025, the province passed Bill 30 – the Employment Standards (Serious Illness or Injury Leave) Amendment Act, which saw improvements to employment standards for anyone with a serious illness, increasing the unpaid job-protected leave to 27 weeks, up from five days paid and three days unpaid leave in a 12-month period.

“This is a huge win for people who have serious illnesses. It was something that was needed. Twenty-seven weeks isn’t a lot of time, especially if you’re travelling for treatments, but it’s better than five days,” Mytopher told Council.

Recent advancements in research have increased what is known about MS, and increased treatment options.

For example, Mytopher reported that recent studies from the University of British Columbia found that MS-related health issues appear 15 years before diagnosis.

“It’s really great that advancements are being made, you know that time is of the essence with MS, because of the progressive nature of the disease.”

Researchers are also working on using blood tests to monitor MS progression in real-time, as opposed to relying on MRI’s which take a lot longer.

Some of these advancements in treatment have benefitted Mytopher, who is not only an advocate, but lives with MS herself.

“On a personal note, I mentioned last year [that] I started a new medication in October 2024, and January 8^th of this year is possibly the last medication that I will ever have to take because of the treatment plan that I was on. It’s really exciting, so we’ll be monitoring that with MRIs over time, if I have severe symptoms – but at this point I am medication and treatment free,” she said.

Councillors Gord Klassen and Byron Stewart thanked Mytopher for her dedication to raising awareness about MS and appreciate her ambassadorship of the program.

“Your personal reveal to us is promising for so many, so I thank you for sharing that,” said Stewart.

Mayor and Council proclaimed May to be MS Awareness Month in Fort St. John, and the MS Canada flag will be flown at City Hall throughout the month.

For 27 years, Bluey Day has seen over a thousand North Peace area residents, grow their hair longer, collect pledges from fellow residents, and ultimately shave their heads to support the Fort St. John Hospital Foundation’s Cancer and Diagnostic Treatment Fund.

Their efforts have raised more than $2.5 million, money which stays in the community. The Fund supports access to early screening, diagnosis and treatment of cancer, ensuring local patients have the same access to care as people in larger centres, all while remaining in their community surrounded by their families and friends.

By having access to healthcare in their home community, stress and travel costs for families are reduced, while the improved diagnostics reduces strains on emergency services. These investments also help keep health professionals in the North Peace.

Over the years, participants of all ages have come together each May to have their heads shaved to help others in the community. Some, like Kelly Fell who has raised some $105,000 over many years, keep coming back time and time again.

“It reminds us that making a difference doesn’t require anything extraordinary, just the willingness to step forward,” Emily Olson, Community Giving and Event Coordinator with the FSJ Hospital Foundation said.

Olson pointed out some of the dedicated people who have spent years growing out their hair to donate on May 23, including Catherin with the City of Fort St. John, and Dexter, a Grade 8 student who has spent the last three years growing his hair out “so he can be brave and shave.”

To see follow the stories of the participants, Olson encouraged the public to follow the FSJ Hospital Foundation on social media.

The Foundation hopes to see 50 participants this year and raise $100,000. For more information about the FSJ Hospital Foundation check out their Facebook page or website.

From discussions around Artificial Intelligence in permitting, to water security, economic development, education and different types of energy found in the BC Peace Region, attendees had a very full day at the annual Creating Energy Conference in Fort St. John.

This year, the conference went beyond information, discussion and networking, when Rob van Adrichem, Patricia Lightburn and Ryan Gander, during their Renewable Energy 101 session provided an opportunity for hands-on experimentation with wind and solar power.

Half the attendees built and tested miniature solar panels, while the other half took up the challenge of assembling and testing wind turbines. Framed as a competition, groups worked to determine how to get the most power out of their experiments. The “winner” being the group whose model generated the most electricity.

The group I was in was one of those that was assigned the task of building a wind turbine, and determining which permutations produced the most electricity. We were given three different sizes of “turbine blades” and tried different arrangements, while measuring the output with a multimeter. The wind was provided via a box fan.

Once the official experiment was completed, we had some time left and our group’s biologist-turned-engineer for the experiment, egged on by others in the group, built a Franken-bine, using every blade available. It caught a lot of wind, but suffered a catastrophic failure, dropping blades all over the table. Clearly, there’s a good reason why real wind turbines only have three blades. Not twelve.

I and many others, recently attended the Conservative Party of BC Riding Association for Peace River North AGM.

I was surprised to see Larry Neufeld MLA Peace River South, and Trevor Bolin in attendance. They were, according to the President of the Association, guest speakers.

Larry Neufeld, MLA for Peace River South, went on and on about the NDP Government and the DEBT that BC was in. Over $13 Billion. Can you believe that? He also said that by this time Next Year, that number would be higher, if not DOUBLED!! What does this Government have to show for all this??

This is were I have to question the feasibility, of a New Pool Build. With the Province in a Financial Crisis, Healthcare Crisis, Mental Health and Addictions Crisis, Housing Crisis, Affordability (rent, food, gas, electricity, etc) Crisis, etc etc., do you honestly think that you should MOVE FORWARD with this PROJECT??

The Province is BROKE. There is no money. It has been squandered on USLESS projects and RED TAPE. The Gravy Train has dried up. Tax payers money goes more towards Salaries and Benefit Packages for UNIONIZED workers, Government Officials (Municipal, Regional, Provincial), Healthcare that does not exist because of the TOP HEAVY overpaid, bureaucrats, Subsidies for Foreign Workers (which many owned FAST FOOD restaurants have tapped in and gain financially on the BC TAX Payers dime). The list goes on and on.

So were are you going to get all this Money for this Project?? Not from us. We too, are feeling the PINCH. Food and Shelter will be my priority over a LUXURY item. Paying my heating and electricity takes precedence over financing the Entertainment of a few thousand people. I refuse to pay for peoples Entertainment. But saying that I do pay for the entertainment for people. I pay my portion for Parks, Walking and Bike Trails, the Geo Park and Dinosaur Park in Tumbler Ridge, Dog Park, the existing Pool, the Arena’s, etc. I’m tapped out and so are many other people.

There will not be any GRANTS, which in fact is TAX PAYER funded. Industry is at a standstill and many of our locals have been laid off due to the RED TAPE and Bureaucracy, thanks to the Provincial and Federal Governments. You have NO RIGHT to use the PRA as you want. It is not yours to squander as per Steve Thorlakson’s letter. The letter sent by Stephen Foster further tells us that the City is not doing their due diligence and NOT following procedure and Provincial and Municipal guidelines.

So when is enough is enough?

I will share a quote from a friend. Canadian Dr. Mark Trozzi:

The more you have invested in going in the wrong Direction, the harder it is for you to REALIZE, that YOU ARE, going in the WRONG Direction.

You have a Responsibility to us, the People of Fort St John. YOU SERVE US!

Priorities over Luxury.

Period.

PS: Trevor Bolin was there and heard the whole speech that MLA Larry Neufeld presented. Ask him!!

There was some good reader engagement with last week’s column on Advanced Life Deferred Annuities. Carrying on the theme of practical financial planning tips, here is a potpourri of ideas for your consideration.

• Keep your TFSA contribution records. The government reporting is often delayed. I am putting this at the top of the list because if you don’t accurately track your TFSA contribution history there is no assurance that anyone else can either.

• Pay yourself first. Take 10 percent of your income and use if for something important like RRSP contributions or mortgage prepayments. Learn to live off the remaining 90 percent of your income.

• If you get a raise, increase your savings before you increase your spending.

• Open a First Home Savings Account as soon as possible, even if you are years away from buying a home. Contribution room only starts after the account is opened.

• Make at least $2,000 of RESP contributions before the end of the year your child turns 15 or you may lose future grant eligibility.

• Apply for the $1200 B.C. Training and Education Savings Grant in your RESP between ages 6 and 9. It is not automatic.

• Hold RESPs joint with your spouse or name your spouse as successor subscriber in your will. If you don’t you risk unintended consequences if you pass away.

• If you are over 65, make sure you are claiming the pension income tax credit. RRIF income counts. You can take $2000 out of your RRIF tax free.

• You can split up to 50% of qualified pension income with your spouse. RRIF income qualifies.

• Even with pension income splitting now widely available, spousal RRSPs still have a role, especially if you are looking at strategic withdrawals before age 65.

• Review your beneficiary designations every few years, especially after marriage, divorce, or the birth of a child. Don’t forget the beneficiary designations on your group benefits.

• Do not keep long term money perpetually sitting in cash or GICs if you do not need it soon.

• Contribute to your RRSP early in the year rather than waiting until the deadline. You can get an extra year of compounding.

• Dollar cost averaging is a premier way to build wealth. Set up automatic contributions to savings and investments.

• Don’t neglect your emergency fund. Sometimes you need quick access to cash.

• If you have credit card debt, pay that off before investing.

• If you have dependant children, make sure your will names a guardian.

• Keep a list of all your accounts, passwords, insurance, and important documents in one place. Do not assume your spouse can access your accounts if something happens to you.

• Delay CPP if you do not need it and expect to live a long time.

• Use TFSA withdrawals before RRSP withdrawals if you are trying to reduce OAS clawbacks.

• If one spouse dies, review the survivor’s tax situation. There is a tax-free rollover on the death of the first spouse, but not on the second.

• If you own a corporation, do not leave excess cash sitting there without a plan.

• If you are helping a child buy a home, decide in advance whether the money is a gift or a loan.

• Review your insurance every few years instead of simply renewing it.

• Make sure your disability insurance will actually cover your expenses.

• Do not let old bank accounts, small RRSPs, or forgotten pensions get lost.

• If you have unnecessary paperwork for obsolete accounts, destroy it. You might know what has value, but to your executor every piece of paper is potentially something they need to trace.

• Check your CPP statement every few years for errors.

• Do not judge an investment by what it did last year.

• Avoid making major investment decisions based on headlines.

• Avoid making major money decisions in times of severe emotion, such as grief or FOMO.

• If you have aging parents, make sure powers of attorney and wills are in place.

• If you have a pension, find out what survivor benefits it provides.

• Keep enough cash available in retirement so you are not forced to sell investments during a market decline.

• If you are charitably inclined, donating appreciated securities is often more tax efficient than donating cash.

• Review your full financial plan annually, even if nothing seems to have changed. Something probably did.

This will be my last column for a few months. I am overhauling my financial planning practice, and that needs my full attention. In the meantime, you can send your ideas for future columns to brad@bradbrainfinancial.com. Have a great summer.
