Applications will be available and accepted starting today at Annunciation at 627 5th Avenue West, or parents can make use of the online forms available from the Annunciation website.

Parents should note that Children must be five years of age by December 31, 2016 for consideration for the 2016-17 Kindergarten registration.

For more information on what Annunciation has to offer parents and what you need to know about registration see their website here.

Prince Rupert among eight B. C. communities seeking a Coroner

The Province of British Columbia is starting the New Year off with a job search, looking to find the right applicant for a fairly important job in communities across the province, with the need to fill eight positions currently open for the position of Community Coroner.

Prince Rupert is among the eight and applications are being accepted until the 10th of January, for he post which features hours if and as when needed.

The main function of the Community Coroner is to investigate deaths to establish the identity of the deceased and taster information to help determine when, where, how and by what means the person has died.

Duties include waiving certification of death to a physician in the case of natural deaths, or for those deaths where a full Coroner's investigation will be required, the Community Coroner documents the initial findings for further review from one of the Province's Full Time coroners.

As part of those initial investigations, the Community Coroner will work with local law enforcement agencies, Physicians and hospital staff, families and relatives of the deceased and other agencies as required to provide the full overview of the nature of the death under investigation.

The job however does require a special kind of person to take on the sometime grisly tasks that are associated with the work, particularly in incidents which involve children, requiring the need to balance sympathy to the families with the required work of determining causes of death.

As well, the ability to be able to put aside the nature of the work once you have completed your required work, a situation that at times has been something that past coroner's have found hard to to do at times.

Some of the special requirements for applicants include:

Subject to a satisfactory police record check including enhanced security screening. 

Required to be available 24 hours/day for the assigned on call period and for consultation with full time Coroner and Regional Coroner following the on call shift. 

Must have valid driver’s license and use of a personal vehicle that is maintained in good and safe working condition and with appropriate insurance. 

Coroners work from home and their home office must comply with BCCS standards, policies and practices (ie: File Security). 

Ability to manage sensitive and confidential information. 

Must have a good working knowledge of medical terminology or successfully complete a medical terminology course within 6 months of employment. 

Strong working knowledge of computer technologies and ability to enter data in to the BCCS database. 

Must be physically able to attend a variety of scenes (e.g. wilderness, elevated terrain, driving long distances).

You can find out more background and submit your application for the Prince Rupert position here

WCC LNG comment period set to close on Wednesday

For North Coast residents looking to provide their comments when it comes to the proposed Tuck Inlet LNG Terminal project, the current phase of the Draft Application Information process is about to come to an end, with the final opportunity for comments as part of this first phase set to close on Wednesday, January 6th.

Exxon/Mobil hosted an Open House in mid December to outline the current status of their investigative work related to the proposed development, offering up a progress report on their work to this point and what is ahead for the plan to develop the LNG terminal on the shore across from the east side of the City of Prince Rupert.

You can review some of the comments, few as they are to this point,  provided to the Province from this link to the BC Environmental Assessment page.

The comment period which opened on November 23rd has delivered three contributions as of last week, with observations both short and fairly lengthy providing some early indications when it comes to what is on the mind of those showing interest in the Tuck Inlet project.

The full overview of the project documentation can be examined from the Project Information Centre page here.

For more about the process related to the Draft Application Information requirements from the BC Government website here.

More background on the proposed LNG terminal can be found on our archive page here.
