RCMP seek missing man Campbell River RCMP are investigating a report of a missing person and seeking help from the public. Josiah Sean Laird, 35, of Campbell River was reported missing on

appearance. The taxi was found empty later that same morning on Holberg Road west of Port Hardy. Continued on Pg. 3
Canada Post will pay the city for each community mailbox it constructs on city property. Sara Brodie, the city’s development engineering and building supervisor, said Canada Post has signed off on an agreement that will pay the city $50 per site. She said just under 300 community mailboxes will be built on city property. “The agreement was signed last week by both parties,” Brodie said. “The agreement outlines all the requirements the city was asking for.” In a July letter to Canada Post’s board of directors, Mayor Andy Adams asks Canada Post to agree to three conditions. “We request that, prior to construction of the community mailboxes, Canada Post enters into an agreement with the city addressing the following: payment for work on City Lands permit fee of $50 per site location, insurance naming the City of Campbell River as an additional insured and having $3 million in liability coverage, (and) other standard requirements in acquiring a Work on City Lands permit such as culvert drawings, retaining wall drawings, and a full environmental development area review,” Adams

wrote. “Please note that without the above mentioned items, the city cannot grant any Work on City Lands permits and will not allow any construction on city property.” The letter is dated July 6 and at the time it was written Adams notes that Canada Post had entered the construction phase of the project and had yet to receive any items from the corporation “to indicate its intent to apply for the City’s Work on City Lands permit.” Brodie said Canada Post negotiated the $50 fee with the city just last week – the same time construction of the mailbox sites got underway. Canada Post has sent out letters to residents in most neighbourhoods informing citizens of where their new community mailbox will be located come mid-September when Canada Post plans to phase out home delivery to all Campbell River homes. Canada Post has said that under the Canada Post Act, it has the exclusive rights over postal services and can legally install community mailboxes on municipal property. In Hamilton, that city’s council amended a bylaw to force Canada Post to pay $200 for a permit for each build site. Continued on Pg. 3
