Prince George All Ages Venues – A Top Five Favourites List From Some Metal Chick

Prince George All Ages Venues

 A Top Five Favourites List From Some Metal Chick

Growing up in Prince George was a pretty good time, with lots of ups and downs, and lots of metal, punk, and alternative shows. I entered the music in 2004, when I was 13, and I have seen a lot of venues come and go. I am too young to have witnessed the glory that was Growlies, or Pizza Rico’s when they actually served pizza. Honourable mentions go to Sound Entertainment, St. Michaels and Knox United – all the hardcore nonsense! With that in mind, here are my top five favourite Prince George venues from past, and present.

 

#5 – Connaught Youth Center

 

This venue was where I saw my first ‘big’ metal concert – the Adamant CD release show back in 2005. The Center has a lot of great aspects about it, the sound can be really great for metal bands because it is such a big venue. When Dying Fetus came here for Helloween II they sounded so big and fantastic inside the gym. I also found that this venue didn’t get as hot as some of the other venues, and it had a lot of great spots outside to take a rest after a lengthy mosh pit experience. I will always think fondly of the many concerts that happened at this venue. I’m not sure why it stopped being used as a venue, maybe it was that time someone dressed as Jesus and then set their costume on fire….

 

#4 – The Roll-A-Dome

 

This venue needs no introduction, as it has been a staple in the community since the 70s. When I was a pre-teen the All Night Skates were all the rage, and then as I got older the Prazma Entertainment shows became the biggest draw for me. I have witnessed so much epic music in this place. Swallow the Sun, Rotting Christ, Three Inches of Blood (like three times), Zimmers Hole…. The list could go on and on. I once fell asleep on the floor of this venue by the speakers because they were so loud it felt like I was being a massage. So many good times, thank you Roll-A-Dome.

 

#3 - The Artspace

 

This venue has been around longer than I can personally remember. Some very important formative moments of my life took place in this upstairs haven of art and song and life. I performed my first burlesque show here, cried to so many sad songs, headbanged to so much good metal, and above all, laughed and shared experiences with my friends. My only complaint is that it is so HOT. You cannot dance for longer than thirty seconds to two minutes without breaking a sweat. One of the greatest things about this venue is the $2 bookshelf that you can browse and buy books from while attending a show. Introverts rejoice! Unlike all the other venues on this list, this venue is still open and available!

 

 

#2 – Pizza Rico’s

 

I came too late in the game to ever get served pizza at this venue… but I definitely had time to enjoy it. For a while there was nothing else for metal, and I saw some crazy shows here man. The small risers in the windows were perfect for gazing out over the pit, in this tiny red dungeon of a space. Deadriver Wasteland, Hunger, Gyibaaw, Primal Stance, Necrobiosis… those are some of the most memorable sets for me, but there is so much more! This venue was great for temperature, great location right downtown, and even though there were sometimes altercations with the cops it kept the spirit of the metal and punk scene alive for years.

 

#1 – (of course) Third

If you don’t know, then I’m sorry for you, Third was the best thing that happened to the PG music scene in the 2000s. Tiny, dark, and spray painted with a hundred or more band names, when it was shut down in 2013, many hearts were crushed. In my humble opinion, small venues are the best venues. You could fill that room with 30 people, or it would be crammed with 100+ people when a show had a big draw. The bathroom sucked, there was nowhere to sit, and no one cared. It sounded great and it was a cheap venue for local and out of town bands to throw shows. Third brought us so many gifts, the most important of which was community and family. If you remember Third, toast your next drink to that beautiful little oasis of alternative.

Taxes Taxes Taxes - 2014 Tax Info For Students

Students—Do the Math and Save at Tax Time!

Did you know?

The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has tax credits, deductions, and benefits to help students—no exam required. All you have to do is file your income tax and benefit return and claim them. Read on for tips that will ensure you get the most from your income tax and benefit return.

There are many ways to save at tax time—here is a lesson you don’t want to miss!

And don’t forget when your assignment is due! The deadline to file your personal income tax return is April 30th!

Claim your eligible tuition fees—You will have received a tax certificate from your educational institution with the total eligible fees paid for the tax year.

Claim the education amount—If you are a full-time student (or a part-time student who can claim the disability amount or has a certified mental or physical impairment), you can claim $400 for each month you were enrolled in an educational institution. If you are a part-time student, you can claim $120 for each month you were enrolled.

Claim the textbook amount—You can claim this amount only if you are entitled to claim the education amount. You can claim:

  • $65 for each month you qualify for the full-time education amount; or
  • $20 for each month you qualify for the part-time education amount.

Claim the interest paid on your student loans—You may be able to claim an amount for the interest paid on your loan in 2014 for post-secondary education. You can also claim interest paid over the last five years if you haven't already claimed it. Only interest paid on loans received under the Canada Student Loans Act, the Canada Student Financial Assistance Act, or similar provincial or territorial legislation for post-secondary education can be claimed.

Claim the public transit amount—If you use public transit, you may be able to reduce your taxes owing by claiming the cost of your transit passes. Keep your transit passes for local buses, streetcars, subways, commuter trains or buses, and local ferries, and enter your total public transit amount on line 364 of Schedule 1, Federal Tax. To find out if your transit pass is eligible and for more information, visit www.cra.gc.ca/transitpass.

Claim your eligible moving expenses—If you moved for your post-secondary studies and you are a full-time student, you may be able to claim moving expenses. However, you can only deduct these expenses from the part of your scholarships, fellowships, bursaries, certain prizes, and research grants that has to be included in your income. If you moved to work (including summer employment) or to run a business, you can also claim moving expenses. However you can only deduct these expenses from the income you earned at the new work location. To qualify, your new home must be at least 40 kilometres closer to your new school or work location.

Claim the GST/HST credit—If you have low or modest income, you are a resident of Canada, and 19 years of age or older, you may be able to receive the goods and services tax/harmonized sales tax (GST/HST) credit. Starting this year, you no longer need to apply for this credit—the CRA will determine your eligibility when you file your income tax and benefit return and send you a notice if you are entitled.

Claim your child care expenses—If you have to pay someone to look after your child so you can go to school, you may be able to deduct child care expenses.

If you need help filing your return, and you have a modest income and a simple tax situation, volunteers from the Community Volunteer Income Tax Program may be able to prepare and submit your tax return for you to make sure you receive all the credits and benefits you are entitled to. For more information, go to www.cra.gc.ca/volunteer.

The 2015 Games are a Blast!~journal of a Games participant

Seriously, the TV screen doesn't do it any justice at all. You really have to BE THERE to feel the spirit. I watched a bit of the games on TV today and I felt sort of lame, as compared to the few experiences I had actually being there myself. I was lucky enough to be chosen as a torchbearer, and my part was in the relay as the torch was on its way to the CN Centre for the Opening Ceremonies. We had an orientation at the YMCA, I got a neat windbreaker and they got us all (thirty-something of us!) on the bus. We rode that bus for a few hours as it slowly crept its way to the CN Centre- we took turns going outside and carrying the torch for a few blocks.

The energy in that bus was absolutely amazing- we hardly knew each other, and yet we cheered like mad every time one of us got off the bus or got back on, and... It was inspiring, and something I'm likely to never forget.

After that, I had the chance to go to the Opening Ceremonies. It was truly amazing and really well organized. I was especially impressed by the caliber of the performers at the event. Watching the athletes come in, the speakers give their addresses, and just seeing firsthand all these people that came such a long way for this- it really struck a chord with me. I've only ever seen Opening Ceremonies of events like these on TV before, and experiencing it firsthand was- at the risk of sounding cliche- magical.

The next day, I jumped straight into volunteering- I was a minor official for Target Shooting, and I had a great time. Over the week I helped out there, I got to know the other officials, the athletes, the parents, the coaches, and the other volunteers pretty well and by the end of it, I decided this was one of the best volunteer experiences I've had. Also, I got a lot of pin-trading done, which, if you haven't heard yet, is pretty much the most competitive non-sport in the Games!

Basically what I'm trying to say with this is, if you can, it really is worth it to check out some of these last events for these Games firsthand. Aside from hockey and the Ceremonies, the price at the door is around 5-10 dollars, which is great.

I had no idea, going into these two weeks, that I'd be having such a great time, but here I am. I'm proud of Prince George for hosting it so well, and I'm proud to be a part of it. I just know that people are going away from this, travelling back to their respective provinces, and going, "wow, that was amazing." People who plan the 2019 Games in Red Deer are here and they're going, "wow, we want ours to be like this."

We're creating a legacy. Be part of it!

Paranoia Surrounds Combination of Bill C-51 and a Leaked RCMP report

Leaked RCMP report"Criminal Threats to Canadian Petroleum Industry": 256093563-RCMP-Criminal-Threats-to-Canadian-Petroleum-Industry-pdf

An interesting combination of information has arisen in Canada. The advent of Bill C-51 and a recently leaked RCMP report from 14 January 2014  entitled "Criminal Threats to Canadian Petroleum Industry" has caused quite a stir. You may download it in .pdf format above. Bill C-51 intends to counter terrorism through new legislation. Language used in the bill casts a frown upon those who "undermine the security of Canada" and events which damage "critical infrastructure." The bill has been received with much controversy as it empowers CSIS with the ability to arrest and detain suspected terrorists.  That has been the topic of much debate on Parliament Hill. Another issue that has arisen pertains to what exactly is terrorism, or terrorist activity, defined as? The leaked RCMP report, in combination with bill C-51, is ruffling feathers across the nation, particularly in areas where disdain towards pipeline activity has been projected at high volume. Very little has been directly mentioned in either Bill C-51, or the leaked report. The uproar surrounding the documents is largely based on people extrapolating and deciding for themselves what to expect from the coming legislation while the RCMP is tuned in to "violent criminal activity" and "extremist" (pg.15) behaviour coming from a growing anti-oil aligned population. There has not yet been an official attempt from the Federal Government, the RCMP, or anyone else to quell to growing concerns citizens have on the issue. Until a clear explanation can be delivered, and seeing Bill C-51 scrapped, or at least amended appropriately, anxiety will continue to affect anyone publicly denouncing pipeline activity in Canada.

BILL C-51
An Act to enact the Security of Canada Information Sharing Act and the Secure Air Travel Act, to amend the Criminal Code, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service Act and the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act and to make related and consequential amendments to other Acts

2. The Security of Canada Information Sharing Act, whose text is as follows and whose Schedules 1 to 3 are set out in the schedule to this Act, is enacted:
An Act to encourage and facilitate information sharing between Government of Canada institutions in order to protect Canada against activities that undermine the security of Canada
Whereas the people of Canada are entitled to live free from threats to their lives and their security;
Whereas activities that undermine the secu­rity of Canada are often carried out in a clandestine, deceptive or hostile manner, are increasingly global, complex and sophisticated, and often emerge and evolve rapidly;
Whereas there is no more fundamental role for a government than protecting its country and its people;
Whereas Canada is not to be used as a conduit for the carrying out of activities that threaten the security of another state;
Whereas protecting Canada and its people against activities that undermine the security of Canada often transcends the mandate and capability of any one Government of Canada institution;
