A message from the President of Coastal GasLink Pipeline Project

I read with interest the article by Andrew Hudson in the Haida Gwaii Observer of Dec. 28. He was sharing with the public news that the newly elected board of trustees to SD50 had learned on the day of their second board meeting that the Ministry of Education had appointed a special advisor, a former superintendent Piet Langstraat, to oversee the school district for the rest of the school year.

As a new participant in the Carving On The Edge festival in Tofino, I was profoundly inspired by the momentum and breadth of activities throughout the week-long event. Wood carving has always been a central activity amongst Indigenous cultures of the West Coast, but that’s not the case in the larger world of consumerism where products are fabricated and disposed of en mass.

A change of representation for the non-Haida communities of Gwaii Trust has been proposed by factions of Port Clements and Masset.

Editor,

I recently spent 10 wonderful days on the islands of Haida Gwaii. The whole experience was totally lovely. However I was disappointed not to be able find a restaurant that served traditional Haida food or local seafood. Nor did the company who took us to Koona. Lunch was chicken and salad. Delicious as it was, it was mainland food.

During this period of our lives, where homelessness runs rampant globally, to force people out of their homes and then destroy these same homes is not a positive use of power. When powerful people choose to create a state of homelessness for any individual, this power lacks collaboration and mostly compassion.
