Canoe trip will raise money for addictions centre AJOURNEY that is both very new and very old will begin in Hazelton tomorrow when a canoe enters the waters at *Ksan, and arrives in Terrace later that evening. The 1,000 mile journey for Vision Quest will sec a team of RCMP officers, native youth and private citizens pad- dling together to raise moncy for a new and different heai- ing center. The centre will be a recovery facility to help people and their families face and overcome all types of addictions, from alcohol and drugs, to sex, power and control. **There is nobody that lias not been touched by addiction aud we pay a tremendous price for it,’ says RCMP lisp. John Grant. He’s the officer in charge of the canoe trip, and he also heads up Aboriginal Policing Services in B.C, The involvement of the RCMP in the project signals the Start of a new direction for the force. Historically, addictions have been viewed as a social problem, not a police problem. Yet Grant says there is a direct relation between recovery and crime prevention, as 95 per cent of crime is directly related to addictions. ‘Nobody on earth is unaffected by addictions,’’ says Grant, and offering a chance at healing is betler than throwing people in jail. Involvement of the entire family will have an impact on the wider community, extending to the global community, says Grant. The RCMP in B.C. will be the only police force in the world with a traditional west coast canoe, named Joummeys 1997. Designed by Roy Henry Vickers and James van Nostrand, the canoe was modeled in traditional style and made of modern materials, Described as ‘‘a journey towards healing by sharing cul- tures, traditions and history,’” the canoe will follow ancient travel routes and stop at villages dowa the Skeena and along the Inside Passage. If the weather holds out, the crew has been challenged to a baseball game by the Kitsumkalum youth group. A crew of 50 will take turns paddling, 10 at a time. Team members will include RCMP officers, young nalives on their recovery path, arlist Roy Henry Vickers and pri- vate citizens. ; The crew will be leaving Hazelton at sunrise to make the 125-kin trip to Terrace, the longest stretch they'll have to make on their month long j jourey. Other canoes will join on the j journey, and the second an- nual Tribal Journey of traditional canoes from Port Hardy will arrive at the same time. All ihe canoes will be arriving in Victoria on August 3 for the opening of the North American Indigenous Games, The RCMP hope to raise about $8 million for the recovery centre. , Cal students given awards CALEDONIA GRADS The top business student is. were presented wilh aca- Erin Earle, while the top Pe] demic and ‘athletic awards ‘ career:.prep-"- ‘student - vis. i last week. at.a cerémony'‘it "Krister Paltel."777' 07" SHELLY BRITTON of the RCMP Surrey D Detachment takes the bow as she prac- tices paddling.
