Justin Trudeau was in Chilliwacklast week speaking to fans, curi-ous guests andLiberal Party faith-ful.

The Liberal leadership hopeful washere to honour long-time local partystalwart Hal Singleton, who is facingterminal colon cancer.Trudeau reiterated his focus on a

newkindofpolitics andchanginghowdemocracyworks inOttawa.He said instead of voting for the

representatives voters want, we havereached the point where people voteagainst the parties they dont want.This causes a swing back and forthbetween the right and the left andcements an us-versus-themmental-ity, according toTrudeau.Some might be asking, What in

the world is Justin doing in Chilli-wack today? he said. It is becausethe future of Canada is right here. Thefuture of the Liberal Party is right here.There is no our gang or their gang,

there are only Canadians and that issomething weve allowed ourselves toforget.Duringhis speech,Trudeau touched

onmany subjects covered in a Timesinterview before the visit: the state ofthe Liberal brand, western alienationandbeing the sonof PierreTrudeau.He also touched on the predomi-

nantly Conservative nature of Chilli-wack.If you are a Liberal in Chilliwack its

not because it gets you into the coun-try club, he said.He said he was travelling the coun-

try and getting inspired by individualslike Singleton and others whodare tocall themselves Liberal inChilliwack.Singletons son spoke at the Coast

event followed by his father, who rem-inisced on years past and was jovialwith the crowd. He did, however, talk

about his health andwhat he said areflaws in themedical system that saw ahighly treatable disease goundetecteduntil, for him, it is too late.Singleton also talked briefly about

the closure of CFB Chilliwack, some-thing he does not look at as the cata-clysmic lossmanyothers do.Look at what has happened to the

base [now], he said. We have morestability now than always under thethreat of a base closure.In recent days, Trudeau has been

under considerable pressure for con-troversial comments he made aboutAlberta during a 2010TV interview inQuebec.In the video clip of the 2010 inter-

view, which Sun Media began re-broadcasting Thursday afternoon,Trudeau says, Canada isnt doingwellright now because its Albertans whocontrol our community and socio-democratic agenda. It doesntwork.Asked if Canada is better served

when there are more Quebecers inpower than when there are moreAlbertans in power, Trudeau replied:Im a Liberal so of course I believe

that.He went on to add that the great

prime ministers of the 20th centurywereMPs fromQuebec.This country, Canada, it belongs to

us, he said.It was during his visit in Chilliwack

that those comments started to gainmediaattention.ASunMedia reporterwas at the Coast and during a mediascrum Trudeau was asked if what hesaid in 2010was takenout of context.

He said it had, but he did also apol-ogize for the comments. He has sinceapologized further.Im sorry I said what I did. I was

wrong to relate the area of the countrythatMr. (Stephen)Harper is fromwiththe peoplewho live there andwith thepolicies that he has that dont repre-sent the values of most Canadians,said Trudeau the next day inVancou-ver.Earlier, inside the room, there was

a fawning, rock star feel to Trudeausvisit.After taking a photo ofTrudeauwith

his wife Laura, former mayor ClintHames said he remembered whenJustins father came through Chilli-wack in 1968.Current Mayor Sharon Gaetz had

Trudeau sign the PierreTrudeau pagein her copy of the book Great Cana-dian Speeches.Before the meet-and-greet event

at the Coast Hotel, Trudeau was ata $600-a-head fundraising lunch atBravo that raised $15,000 for the localLiberal constituency association.

BY TYLER [email protected]

AFort Langleyman told a befuddled Pro-vincial Court judge Thursday that hewas within his rights as a self-govern-ing person to operate his vehicle withouta licence when he was stopped at, then fledfrom, a police roadblock last summer nearCultus Lake.Douglas Norman Baker, 51, was defending

himself at his trial on two charges of obstruct-ing a peace officer and one charge of drivingwhile prohibited.Baker didnt dispute the circumstances of

the charges, except to insist that he was trav-elling notdriving,whichhe saidwould haverequired him to be conducting business or inthe employ of the government.In 2010, he was stopped by Abbotsford

police while driving without a valid licence.His Ford Bronco was impounded at the timeandhewashanded adrivingprohibition.On June 30, 2011, hewas stopped at a police

roadblock near Cultus Lake. Asked if he pos-sessed a drivers licence, he toldConst. BradleyRendall, No, I dont. Instead, Baker handedRendall three documents, including his birthcertificate and a statement that began:Take notice, with all due respect officer, I

am a self-governing sovereign child of Godexercisingmy inalienable right to travel inmyprivate vehicle.The document ended: I will now bid you

Gods peace and farewell.After being told his car would be impound-

ed, and as anotherMountie asked him for hiskeys, Baker returned to his vehicle and left thescene.

He was stopped again 500 metres downColumbiaValleyRoad.Bakers theories are similar to those held by

the so-called Freeman or natural personmovement. He attempted to submit a 48-pagedocument as evidence. But Crown counselRobert Gunnell called the submission a pileof pseudo-legal mumbo jumbo, and it wasrejected by Judge Roy Dickey as not beingapplicable to the case.Baker, though, stuck to his guns and called

the incident a misunderstanding. Through-out the day-long trial, he asked the arrestingofficerswhetherhewasagovernment employ-ee or if he had a contract with ICBC.Withouta contract, Baker said he wasnt at the mercyof laws that prohibit the operation of amotorvehiclewithout a licence.I think the evidence is self-explanatory,

he said. They did get my notice of intent . . .I went back to my vehicle and simply droveaway after the officer had seenmynotice.I amahumanbeing, he continued.I ama

man. I have common-law rights.Because he was acting as a private citizen,

he said he was entitled to his constitution-enshrined right offree travel.That hadDickey looking confused.Do you realize the ability to drive is a privi-

lege not a right? he asked, explaining that var-ious courts have asserted and confirmed thatrulingwhen challenged.As he concluded his defence, Baker

expressed gratitude at being given his day incourt: I really appreciate your patience withme. I know this has been an experience, but Ihope Imnot theworst.Dickey will hand down his decision on the

case inmid January.

Onceuponatimenot that longago,local seniors with dementia andother complex health problemshad to find their way to variousmedicalappointments in a lot of different placesaround Chilliwack and the FraserValleyto get the right care.Since June, however, the Chilliwack

Primary Care Seniors Clinic at the Chilli-wack Hospital has worked to change allthat.Theclinic is aone-stop shop forbothseniors and their family doctors lookingfor specializedcare for theelderly.On Thursday it celebrated its official

opening with the signing of a partner-ship agreement between the ChilliwackDivision of Family Practice and the Fra-serHealthAuthority.The clinic, which has already seen

113 patients, was designed in part oninput from seniors with dementia andtheir families, as well as the ChilliwackAlzheimers Society.What we heard from them was they

got confused about who and how andwhere services are here in Chilliwack,said Fraser Health director of clinicalprograms for older adults Kathleen Fri-esen, who co-chaired the clinics work-ing group. They also wait, they said,sometimes between three to six years toreceive adiagnosis of dementia.Theclinicwasalsodesigned to support

family doctors treating elderly patientswhoneed specialized care.Now, instead of sending them tomul-

tiple specialists in multiple locations,

doctors canmake a single referral to theclinic, where patients get a comprehen-sive assessment, health improvementplan and access either to a family doc-tor with specialized training in care forthe elderly or to specialists like a geriatricpsychiatrist and geriatrician.They had to send people here, there

and everywhere, andwhat weve done isweve brought everyone together in oneplace, Friesen said.Chilliwacks family doctors could well

be showing the rest of the province theway of the future with the clinic, accord-ing to Fraser Health director of integrat-ed primary community care GeorgiaBekiou.Theres a lot of interest in this clinic

regionally and provincially because itreally is the first of its kind, she told theTimes. Some of the other divisions andcommunities are really interested inpotentiallymirroring themodel.For one thing, its the first time a divi-

sion anywhere in the health authorityhas jointly opened a clinic with FraserHealth, she said.Its also the first time family doctors

have banded together to provide assess-ment and specialist services on behalf oftheirmembership.Thats not done that way anywhere

else inB.C, Bekiou said. For more information about theChilliwack Primary Care Seniors Clinic,phone 604-702-2850.

Its difficult to explain in acouple short paragraphs thereason Canadians celebrateThanksgiving at a different

time than Americans, who duginto turkey just last weekend.In part, thats because my

knowledge comes from roughlyfour minutes of research onWikipedia. In that brief time, Idid learn that Canadas Thanks-giving was aimed to coincidewith our harvest while theUnited States Thanksgiving feasttraces its roots to the pilgrimsarrival in December. But how theholiday took root in November,Im still not sure.Nomatter. The point is, by the

time Americans are gatheringwith family, we Canadians aredone being thankful. Instead,weve moved to a months longgrudge against the weather anddesperate pining for the sun.Elsewhere in Canada, theres

snow and cold to complainabout. Here in the Lower Main-land, theres rain and clouds. So,so much rain, and clouds thatturn the sun into a forgottenpresence.When it appears, welaugh at bitter jokes about thatgiant orange globe in the sky.Hilarious!, we think, while plot-ting the invasion of various Car-ribean islands.Anyways, in the spirit of our

southern neighbours, I thoughtit would be a good exercise to

actually catalog why we shouldbe grateful for our winter. Stud-ies show that smilingeven ifyou dont mean itcan actuallymake a person a little happier.Perhaps writing positively aboutour least-favourite season canaccomplish the same trick.So here goes:First of all, let us be thankful

for our shorter days.As I write this, the time is 4

p.m. and its already getting darkoutside. Complain all you want,but the darkness obscures thepelting rain soaking everythingoutside. If you dont look tooclosely, and if you convinceyourself that youve chosen towork until 11 p.m., then thescene isnt too different from awarm evening rain after a swel-tering August day.OK, that wasnt great. Lets try

another.Fresh water, after all, is the

foundation of all life on earth.Without rain, Earth couldnt sus-tain life and we wouldnt be here.Wed all be dead, and that wouldsuck. Yes, it would be nice to be

able venture out of your homewithout an umbrella and a kay-ak, but do you want to be aliveand miserable, or do you want tobe dead and comfortable? Huh?Thats what I thought.Alright, thats less than uplift-

ing. Lets consider the alterna-tives: we could live inWinnipegand have to endure months ofnegative temperatures and snowdrifts. Although, you do at leastgte to brag about your hardinessand make fun of others, you alsohave to endure icicles growingfrom anything and everything,including other icicles. Here,that water doesnt freeze if youencounter it. Instead, it justsoaks into your clothes, yourpores and every other filament ofyour body, chilling you from theinside to a temperature belowbearable but just above thatwhich would cause a quick andpainless death.No? Fine. Lets try family.The weather forces us to find

comfort and happiness withthose people we wrongly neglectwhen the sun is out, the pave-ment dry and the scent of sum-mer is in the air. Sure you canthit the golf course or go for anevening walk, but you can snug-gle into your couch, grab a warmdinner and engross yourself intheVancouver Canucks inevi-table march to the Stanley Cup.Or not.

Shop localjust makesgood centsB

lack Friday, CyberMonday, cross-border shoppingeverybodyslooking for the special deals thatwill make all those post-Christ-

mas credit card statements just a bit easierto open.Everyone is looking for a way to get

more while spending less.Theres little thought towards a long-

term viewat least notmuch longer thanthe arrival of those Christmas bills in Janu-ary.But the fact is, in the end, you always get

what you pay for.Take yourmoney across the border into

the United States, for instance, and youmay save a few bucks on a gallon of gas,somemilk, dry goods and a fresh pair ofshoes.But at the same time, youre paying for

economic benefits that will be enjoyedby another countrybenefits that dontcome back home to you.Youmay be escaping paying local,

provincial and even federal taxes but theservices that those taxes pay for will haveto be paid in some other way or cut alto-gether.Its simple economics.Take yourmoney out of Chilliwack,

and youre paying for improvementsfor another community, someone elsesstreets, someone elses schools and parks,someone elses civic services.Chilliwack Chamber of Commerce exec-

utive director Patti MacAhonic pointedout that money spent inside Chilliwackcirculates within the community, shed-ding benefits as it moves around.She saidmoney spent in the commu-

nity supports the local tax base, support-ing local businesses, supporting locallyemployed residents and ultimately sup-porting the entire community.In a time whenmany farmers and busi-

nesses are struggling tomaintain theirlivelihood, we can do our part to supportthemwhile preserving our agriculturalheritage, MacAhonic said.Developing the local economy also

helps the environment, she said.By reducing the distance food and

goods travel, we can reduce carbon emis-sions and leave a smaller ecological foot-print, doing our part tomaintain cleanerair and water and to preserve farmland forfuture generations.The pros of shopping locally simply out-

weigh the cons.

Editor:Re:Nov.22 Letter to the Edi-

tor Chuckdeserves appoint-ment.Wow!Chuckdeserves

appointment anddeservesto livewithout theburdenofsilent suffering for himselfand the rest of the family. Ifthatwas indeed the truthand feeling, Chuck shouldhave consulted the familyand refused the appointmentand remained inhis quietrural livingroomandenjoyhismore-than-adequate, Iwill concededeserved, gold-platedpublic pension.RickMacLeodwouldnot

havehad anopinion aboutthe appointment ofChuck.AnopinionRickMacLeod isentitled to, given the incon-gruous juxtapositionof suchanappointmentwith thelack of respectChuck andhis party have given veteranswhen theymarchedontohislocal office.TheNewVeteransCharter,

towhichChuck stood inhisplace and voted yes, cannotbe extricated fromanythingthat hedoes vis--vis beinganHonorary L-Col. of anyregiment. Rationally,VeteransAffair seemed toworkwellbefore 2006before his gov-ernment decided to tinkerwith it.Thewar inAfghani-stanwas starting to costmon-ey for all the injured soldierswhowere sent onCanadasbehalf.What is irrational istheNewVeteransCharter thatlimits benefits to short-termlump-sumpayments for lifedisabling injuries, to achievebudget shortfalls.Military personnel return-

ing fromAfghanistan andother conflicts or seriouslyinjured at home shouldnothave to take the governmentto court to receivewhatshouldbe. And that, brotherGary, is the legacyMP (ret.)Chuck Strahl andnowHonor-ary L-Col. of theWesties,willcarrywithhim forever.

JacquesGrattonChilliwack

Not sure whywe have MPsEditor:Re:Recent letters published

in theChilliwackTimes con-

cerningMark Strahl andMPs.The fact is thatMPs in gen-

eral have only one importantrequirement, that is to just getelected andhold on to theirjobs.Theyhavenopower,and if they do try to resist theparty line, they are dealtwithseverely like a disobedientchild and sent to thebackbencheswhere they cant dis-turb the status quo.They are toothless tigers, all

noise andno substance.Theybecomeyesmenandhave torubber stampparty policy asdictatedby thePrimeMinis-ter andhis cabinet. Sowhydoweneed them? It does appearthatwewouldbebetter offwithoutMPs altogether.So far, yourMPmay lend

youa sympathetic ear, butyoumay aswell blow it outyour backside for all the gooditwill do. Big interest groupssuch asBusinessCouncilonNational Issues,NationalActionCommittee on theStatus ofWomenandotherinterest groups such as Pol-lutionProbe, etc. havemoreinfluencebymeeting one-on-onewith cabinetministers ortopbureaucrats. SowhydoweneedMPs?Mark Strahlmaybe a very

niceman, but hehasnt doneor shownanything tomakemeconsider himas an effec-tive representative for hisconstituents, nor has anyotherMP.

RichardParentChilliwack

Chuck shouldhave done moreEditor:In response toChuck

deserves the appointment

(Times, Nov. 22), I also respectthemilitary contributionofyour family, however, Chuck(as you call him)hasnot, inmyopinion, returned thatservice or respect to theCanadianForces.My experi-encewith your brother hasbeen to say the least, disap-pointing.His lack of inter-est and action toquestionsconcerning veteranpensionsand theNewVeteransCharterleave little room forme togiveChuck the respect only afamilymember can give.Take yourself out of the

family for enough time toread the following true sce-narios ofwounded soldiersreturning fromAfghanistanandwhat they received fromtheNewVeteransCharter(NVM) and tellmehonestlyif you think if these soldierswere treated fairly.Tellmeagain, truthfully (rememberyouhavedischarged yourselffrom the family) that youwouldhave the same respectfor a politician that had any-thing to dowithbringing inthat legislation.Just a note, ImetMichal

(nephew) at theNov. 11ceremony inChilliwack andpersonally thankedhim forhis service and contribution.Tomehe seems like a confi-dent andwell-rounded youngmanwith a future aheadofhim.However,what ifMichalhad returned injured fromAfghanistan? Lets say aminorwar injury, two shattered legs.Oneupper leg pinned togeth-erwith a rod.Other lower legput togetherwithplates. Cantrunwalkswith limp.Michalwouldhave received aone-time, taxable lump sumpay-ment of $14,000 fromVeteranAffairs Canada,withnoother

payments or benefits.WhatifMichal hadplanned tobecomeapolice officer?Thatcareer is nownot possible.What if hewanted to attenduniversity, here therewouldbeno financial support fromVeteranAffairs Canada? It isestimated that ifMichalwereable to legally challengehisproposedpayout, the courtswould likely award $200,000for his disability taking intoaccount his loss of longertermearning ability.Howabout another scenar-

io this timewith a littlemoreserious injury;Michal is hit inamine explosion inAfghani-stan.Michal sustainedsignificant internal injuries(removed spleen andkidney,partially removedpancreas,fractured rib, collapsed lung,and a severe abdominalinfection), all whichhas lefthimwith life-longmedicalandhealth issues.VeteransAffairs CanadawouldprovideMichal a one-time taxablepaymentof only $40,000,withnoother payments or ben-efits. Converted to an annuity,this proposed settlementamountwould equal a pay-ment of approximately $140permonth at current interestrates,which is both taxableandnon-indexed. A reviewof the applicable provincialWorkersCompensationpro-gram indicates that for thesamedisability, a paymentof $1,400permonthwouldlikely apply,whichwould alsobeboth tax-free and indexedfor long-term inflation.Gary, this iswhyIhave little

respect foryourbrother.Hewaspartof thatgovernmentthatbrought intheNewVet-eransCharter. Inmyopinion,Chuck,witha largeconstituen-cyof retiredandservingCana-dianArmedForcesmembers,shouldhavefought this legisla-tiontothebitterend.However,there isnorecordofChuckeveropposingorsuggestinganythingthatwould improvethat legislation.YouarebitterbecauseIwrotea littlecritiqueonyourbrothersperformance,tryputtingyourself inoneortheotherof theabovesoldierscircumstanceandthinkofyourbrotherandwhathecouldhavedone.

BY TYLER [email protected]

Aday after seeing their win-streak ended by a desperateteam, the Chilliwack Chiefsshowed some grit of their

own Saturday en route to a hard-earned victory over the sameMer-ritt Centennials squad that beatthem the night before.The Cents beat Chilliwack 5-3

Friday night in Merritt, but theChiefs got their revenge the fol-lowing night in a fiercely contested3-2 win at Prospera Centre.The Friday loss ended both the

Chiefs six-game win streak andMerritts own three-game losingskid.The two teams traded chances,

and goals in the first period. Spen-cer Graboski scored just 1:37 in,but Merritts Dane Birks evenedthe score on the power play mid-way through the frame.The Centennials came out

strong in the second period andput three goals past Chiefs goalieMitch Gillam in the first eightmin-utes to make the score 4-1. Powerplay markers from Luke Esposito,late in the second, and SpencerGraboski, midway through thethird, tightened the scoreline butcouldnt salvage the game.I thought Merritt was certain-

ly the better team, Chiefs headcoach Harvey Smyl said. Theylooked desperatemaybe fromlosing three games straight.The following night, playing in

front of their largest crowd of theyear2,779 fansSmyls Chiefsgroundout a 3-2 victorywith specialteams againplaying a crucial part.After a goal-less first period

punctuated by an early scrum thatsaw players pair off and Graboskiand Merritts John Saunders fight,the Chiefs power play went towork in the second.With Merritt down a man, Luke

Esposito took a sly behind-the-netfeed from Austin Plevy to open thescoring.Sebastien Pare capitalized on

a Ben Israel turnover midway

through the period to even thescore. But Plevy quickly respondedon anotherman advantage. Israelspower play point shot missed thenet but bounced back towards theside of the net, from where Plevyshot into a yawning cage.Derek Huisman scored on a

near-identical play in the third totie the gamealthough a high shotforced the former Chief to bat thepuck out of mid-air for his goal.But the Cash Mob-inspired

crowd was not to be denied theirhappy ending.With 4:15 left in thegame Jaret Babych flubbed a shotfrom the side of the net that elud-ed Merritt netminder Tyler Steeland gave the Chiefs the win.Whi le he noted the game

could have gone either way, Smylthought his team deserved thegood result.It was a character performance

by our guys, he said. The Chiefsstarted the game with a shortened

bench: forward Ryan Donohoewas out with a shoulder injury anddefencemen Alexandre Perron-Fontaine and Kiefer McNaughtonwere also sidelined with injuries.AffiliateplayerBrandonVolpedrewinto the lineup, but things got eventighter whenTanner Cochranewastossed from the game in the firstperiod for a hit-from-behind.Guys were put in certain roles

they havent been in all year, Smylsaid. We used everybody on thatbench and everybody contributedin some way.

Gillam leads PKSaturdaysgamefeaturednumer-

ous infractions and saw the Chiefspenalty killing put to the test. Mer-ritt boasts the leagues best powerplay, while Chilliwacks penaltykilling entered the weekend topsin the BCHL.

On Friday night, the Centen-nials prevailed, scoring on two of

three opportunities. If they couldhave done the same Saturday, theChiefs would have lost. Instead,Chilliwacks penalty killers limitedMerritt to just one goal on ninechances.Smyl gives goalie Mitch Gillam

much of the credit for his teamsability to kill off penalties this year.It usually starts with your goal-

tending, he said. A lot of times wegive up the perimeter shot, [often]because we know Mitch is capa-ble and doesnt give away secondopportunities, and thenwere doinga great job of boxing people out andkeeping them on the outside andreally workingwell as a group.

Chiefs still ranked ninthThe Chiefs held onto ninth spot

in the Canadian Junior HockeyLeagues weekly rankings. Victoriaand Penticon also feature in therankings, while the Surrey Eaglesearned an honourable mention.

The

With FraserValley resi-dents now spendingmoremoney on winethan beer, according

to recent BC Liquor Distribu-tion Branch numbers, its moreimportant than ever to brush uponwine etiquette for the holidayseason.Wine is a social part of busi-

ness at lots of different functions,and its nice to be educated, saidChilliwack Chamber of Com-merce executive director PattiMacAhonic.To help folks in the local busi-

ness community bone up onwinedos and donts, the Chamber is

hosting a special Christmas get-together Dec. 18 that will featurewine tasting, tips on wine pairingsand a session on everything youever wanted to know about wineetiquette but were afraid to ask.The session is being put on by

KimMurphy, proprietor of theSardis ParkVQA BCWine Store.What wine faux pas bugs her

themost?People carefully select the

perfect bottle of wine to bring

to someones house for dinner,and then the host or hostessdoesnt open that wine, she said.Thats probablymy biggest petpeeve from awine-etiquetteperspective. Youve gone out, youshopped for it, youve spent yourtime, and then the person whogets it puts it on their shelf andopens their homemade bottle ofwine.Other common gaffes that sep-

arate the wheat from the wine-

culture chaff, she said, includeoverfilling glasses and servingwines at the wrong temperature.During her session, Murphy will

get participants up to speed on allthe wine-manner basics.Its just about being culturally

aware, she said. Its about beingeducated on wine, including theproper etiquette, so you knowhow to properly present yourselfat a business lunch, at a businessdinner, at a gathering.Along with tips on wineman-

ners, Murphy will also be sharingideas on quick-and-easy wine


The Chilliwack Chamber of Commerce host a special Christmas get-together on Dec. 18 that features wine tasting and wine etiquette. The location has yet to be announced.

FOR ALL YOURHEATING NEEDS

As Chilliwack residents getready to dig into their walletsand spend on everything fromChristmas gifts to holiday

entertaining, the busiest time in retailis fast approaching.But instead of heading out of town or

across the border tomake purchases,the Chilliwack Chamber is urginglocals to consider the benefits of shop-ping locally.Since small local businesses are the

biggest employers both provinciallyand nationally, shopping locally andboosting local businesses bottomlinemake sense because its good foremployment, says Chilliwack Chamberof Commerce executive director PattiMacAhonic.Another benefit of supporting Chilli-

wacks small local businesses, she said,is that they aremore likely to supportlocal events, schools and charities thanthe larger big box businesses.

By spending locally on Christmasgifts, residents also contribute to thelocal tax base which in turn improvesservices that benefit everyone.Buying from local farmers and pro-

ducers alsomeans supporting localbusinesses and providing income forfamilies in the community.In a time whenmany farmers and

businesses are struggling tomaintaintheir livelihood, we can do our partto support themwhile preserving ouragricultural heritage, MacAhonic said.More andmore Canadians are

getting aboard with local shoppingaccording to an Abacus Data studyreleased last year, and the buy-localmovement is no longer a nichemarket.Almost seven in 10 Canadians (69

per cent) said they would be willing topaymoremoney for ameal at a restau-rant if all the ingredients were grownlocally.Almost three in four Canadians (74

per cent) said they would be willingto paymore for groceries if a versionwas available from a local grower orproducer, andMacAhonic said res-taurants and grocery stores benefitfrom offering locally grown productssomethingmore andmore Chilliwackbusinesses are doing.Developing the local economy also

helps the environment, she said.By reducing the distance food and

goods travel, we can reduce carbonemissions and leave a smaller eco-logical footprint, doing our part tomaintain cleaner air and water and topreserve farmland for future genera-tions, MacAhonic said.
