SROAMazing Race at Whitewater 

Selkirk College students in the Ski Resort 

Management & Operations Program are hosting the 

annual SROAMazing Race at Whitewater Ski Resort 

on Sunday, March 28. Bring your best costumes and 

enthusiasm for a great day at the hill. 

With the countdown to the end of the 

Whitewater Ski Resort season on, Selkirk 

College students in the Ski Resort Management 

& Operations (SROAM) Program are 

inviting fresh air lovers to take one last shot 

at amazing. 

The Nelson-based SROAM Program is 

in its 40th year of providing the education 

and training for bright ski industry futures. 

As part of semester-end assignments, firstyear 

students are once again organizing the 

SROAMazing Race that takes place on Sunday, 

March 28. A full day of activities includes 

a scavenger hunt, costume contest, skin-towin 

race and video contest. With a deep list 

of local sponsors, the day also carries promise 

of plenty of terrific prizes. 

“In year’s past, the SROAMazing Race has 

brought the community together and that 

spirit has never been more important than 

now,” says first-year SROAM Program student 

Max Jones. “It has also created a great 

opportunity for students to gain knowledge 

about the responsibilities of creating an event 

like this as we prepare for careers in the 

industry.” 

This year’s SROAMazing Race is adding 

environmental awareness 

to the day’s 

activities with focus 

on POW (Protect Our Winters) Canada, a 

national organization with a mission to turn 

passionate outdoor people in effective climate 

advocates. All money raised will go towards 

POW’s efforts towards sustainability of the 

outdoor industry. 

“Without snow, we obviously wouldn’t 

be able to continue participating in these 

beloved sports, so it’s important to do our job 

as a collective to create a change,” says Jones. 

The activities run between 10 am and 3 

pm. The skin-to-win race will take place on 

Sluice Box, where students encourage people 

to bring their skins and get their game face 

on. The annual scavenger hunt will be set up 

for teams of two all over the mountain and 

participants can arrive anytime to take part 

in the hunt. The video contest is looking to 

hear from people in two minutes or less about 

what they are doing in your daily lives to help 

protect our winters. Don’t forget your costumes, 

there are some sweet prizes for the 

best dressed. 

“The day will feature all of the activities and 

with the help of some wonderful sponsors, 

the SROAM team will be giving out some 

spectacular prizes too,” says Jones. “Last year, 

COVID-19 unfortunately put a halt on the 

2020 class’s race, so we are feeling very eager 

to get things rolling again. Alongside the 

province’s regulations, the class has ensured 

that all COVID protocols are up to standard 

and that participants can be confident in their 

health and safety during the day.” 

Participants can register and find more 

information by heading to the SROAMazing 

Race 2021 Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/SroamazingRace) 

or by emailing 

SROAMazingrace2021@gmail.com.

“The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted 

our lives in countless ways. To keep each 

other safe, we have had to limit activities that 

are fundamental to our normal way of life,” 

said Premier John Horgan. “While we are 

not out of the woods yet, 

there is hope on the horizon 

and we are now ready to, 

gradually and safely, resume 

some of these activities. That 

includes getting young people back on the ice 

this season.” 

The revised plan from the BCHL has 

improved safety protocols in place including 

health screening and testing, limited travel, 

“pod” cities and a pre-season quarantine 

plan. Protocols are also in place to limit interactions 

between players, coaches and staff 

from the BCHL, and the communities they 

play in. The five pods will be located in Penticton, 

Coquitlam, Chilliwack, Vernon and 

Port Alberni.

“Sports are important for young people’s 

development and we understand how hard 

the time away from friends and teammates 

has been,” said Adrian Dix, Minister of 

Health. “I know that Dr. Henry and her team 

are working hard to determine how to safely 

return more leagues back to the field of play 

this spring.” 

The one-time variances to the gathering 

and events order to allow the league to return 

to play may be amended based on the latest 

COVID-19 data and modelling.

Share the love ♥ 

and win 

Destination BC has launched the Share 

Your Love for BC Contest, an engagement 

and advocacy initiative for British Columbia 

residents to re-ignite their pride of place, 

share their love for their province, and keep 

the magic of BC top of mind. 

From the ability to access awe inspiring 

nature at our doorstep, to experiencing 

diverse cultures, our award-winning culinary 

scene, and the sense of calm that comes from 

the sound of a crashing coastal wave, there 

are countless reasons – big and small – why 

British Columbians feel grateful to call this 

province home. From now until March 26, 

BC residents (ages 19+) are invited to share 

their own reasons why they love BC or their 

community, by submitting a photo and brief 

story on ShareYourLoveforBC.com, for their 

chance to win one of ten prizes. 

Ten residents will each win $500 in gift 

cards or vouchers to spend at up to three 

local businesses, within their own community, 

to further support Destination BC’s Stay 

Local, Support Local initiative. Winners will 

be selected by random draw at the end of the 

contest period (March 26) and announced on 

social media. Throughout the contest, Destination 

BC will also share some of the submissions 

on its social media channels. 

To enter the contest, or for more information 

including contest rules 

and regulations, please visit 

ShareYourLoveforBC.com. 

Since November 7, Destination 

BC has paused all 

marketing promoting travel 

in BC, to help support the 

Provincial Health Officer’s 

recommendation against all 

non-essential travel into, out 

of, and around the province, 

until further notice. During 

that time, efforts have shifted 

to encouraging BC residents 

to follow the current guidelines, 

stay in their own communities, 

and support local 

businesses.

forced the pivot to remote post-secondary 

learning in March 2020, Selkirk College has 

instituted health and safety protocols that has 

provided in-person education where possible 

and online where required. 

“It has been a challenging year for post-secondary 

faculty, instructors and staff,” says 

Anne Kang, Minister of

pandemic, while successfully preventing the 

spread of COVID-19 on BC campuses. While 

we update the guidelines to ensure on-campus 

safety, I encourage students and families 

to start planning for in-person instruction on 

a campus of their choice in September.” 

Selkirk College is currently operating 30 

per cent of its educational delivery in-person, 

through various programs on different campuses. 

Following provincial protocols, the 

college’s health and safety plan has been successfully 

tested with results that provide confidence 

moving forward into the next stage of 

pandemic recovery. 

“It has been a difficult 12 months for our 

college, but students, faculty and staff have 

proven their resilience as we have all continue 

to work towards desired outcomes in a most 

unusual year,” says Rhys Andrews, Selkirk 

Good for 2 Prescriptions – Share the Savings. 

And more… 

Unit 2, 688 18 th St, Castlegar 250.365.2026 

Next to Common Grounds Coffee House 

College’s Vice President of Education. 

“Students have said to us that 

the in-person element of their education 

is vital. We are encouraged 

that we can now prepare plans 

for programs that previously had 

in-person learning. This will give 

new 

and returning students an 

experience that meshes 

with the 

overall 

provincial 

landscape in 

September.” 

The expected 

immunization 

timelines for 

the COVID- 

19 virus currently 

project that all vulnerable and high-risk 

groups should have the vaccine by spring. 

The majority of the adult population in British 

Columbia is expected to have access to 

immunization by the start of most Selkirk 

College programs in September. 

Health and safety protocols will remain 

the priority at Selkirk College with reducing 

the opportunity for infectious contacts 

a key component to revised plans. With the 

safety of all who arrive on campuses the number-one 

priority, what will remain in place 

is the now-familiar prevention activities of 

self-administered health checks, facilitating 

hand cleaning through access to soap and 

water, encouraging the use of hand sanitizers, 

use of masks, physical distancing, early 

detecting and rapid testing, and case and contact 

management. 

As the college moves forward in its planning 

for a safe return to campus in September 

2021, there will be further details on what 

this means for specific programs, services and 

activities provided in the coming weeks. To 

continue meeting its strategic goals of access, 

Selkirk College will also incorporate what has 

been learned over the last year with regards 

to providing delivery of programming that is 

available to a wider cohort of students. 

“I have been inspired by the ability of our 

faculty and staff to adapt to the situation while 

continuing to ensure that students are delivered 

the education and training they need to 

succeed after graduation,” says Andrews. “We 

have learned so much about different ways to 

deliver programs and new light has been shed 

on how we can provide even better services 

that will enable learner success. The institution 

will take what it has learned over the 

last year, add it to what has been proven 

successful in the past, and provide an 

in-person campus experience that 

will be exciting for 

everyone.”

Zebra mussels found 

in moss balls 

Anyone who has a moss ball in their aquarium 

is being asked to inspect the plant for invasive 

zebra mussels now that the highly invasive 

species has been found in a number of locations 

throughout the province. 

During the past weekend, conservation 

officers conducted more than 600 inspections 

at retail aquatic pet and plant stores and 

found zebra mussels in moss balls at multiple 

locations. 

Zebra mussels pose a major threat if released 

into a BC waterway. The tiny mussels can wreak 

havoc on aquatic ecosystems because they 

multiply rapidly and are extremely difficult to 

eradicate. 

The Conservation Officer Service (COS) is 

investigating how widespread the problem of 

mussel-infested moss balls may be in the province. 

The COS is working with ministry science 

experts, Canadian and US counterparts, industry 

retailers and distributors to help prevent any 

potential spread of invasive zebra mussels. To 

date, there has been no reported introduction of 

live zebra mussels into BC lakes or waterways. 

The moss balls, which are often sold as 

marimo moss balls, are species of green algae 

typically purchased for aquariums to improve 

water quality. Moss balls can also be purchased 

online. 

Anyone who finds zebra mussels can call the

Pre-purchase your 

2021-22 freshwater 

fishing licence now! 

Freshwater fishing licences for the 2021-22 

season, which begins April 1st, are now available. 

You can purchase your licence for the 

upcoming season online at https://tinyurl.com/ 

y455qt4v — just be sure to select 2021-22 as the 

year. 

Once they turn 65, B.C. resident anglers pay 

a reduced rate of $5 for their annual fishing 

licence. Starting this season, though, the Provincial 

government has provided the option 

for seniors to continue paying the full $36 rate 

charged to residents 16 and older. Many senior 

anglers in this province have been asking if they 

could purchase a licence at full price to help 

support the Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC 

and the Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation 

(HCTF). 

Since 100% of the revenue generated from 

freshwater fishing licences goes to these two 

non-profit organizations, whose work directly

Skiing for hope 

Teamwork is the fuel that makes Nelson 

CARES Society’s Coldest Night of the Year 

fundraising event such a success every year. The 

community comes together to make up teams 

of co-workers, family, friends, housemates or, 

this year, Nordic skiers. Nelson Nordic Ski Club 

put together a team that might have been powered 

by jet fuel. 

The team of seven cross-country skiers raised 

more than $8,750 – but that’s not all. On Saturday, 

February 20, the Nelson Nordic Ski Club 

donated another $345 from day pass revenue, 

bringing the total funds raised by the club to 

over $9,000. 

Each team member put in some serious distance. 

The youngest team member, Maya Abraham, 

15, skied 50km on the day with her mom, 

Doris Hausleitner. Meanwhile, Richmond 

skied 100km with other team members Travis 

Hauck and James Crossman. Andrew Earnshaw 

rounded out the group, skiing 50 km. 

Each year Coldest Night of Year awards those 

individual fundraisers who raise over $1000 a 

coveted gold button. Well, both Richmond and 

Many seed brands in stock NOW: 

West Coast, Pacific Northwest , 

McKenzie, Weston (Emanuele Larosa) 

Hundreds of choices. 

Shop early for best selection. 

Earnshaw could be sporting 3 of these button, 

each raising more than $3000 to support their 

team and the work on Nelson CARES Society. 

This year’s Nelson CARES Society CNOY 

fundraising campaign blew the roof off the 

previous fundraising numbers. This is the case 

nationally, as well, with many of the 149 other 

CNOY locations across the country reporting 

record fundraising totals. Nelson ranked 31st 

out of those 149 locations on dollars raised. 

The Coldest Night of the Year fundraising 

event fully funds the Nelson CARES Society’s 

‘Ready For Home’ program. At the core of 

‘Ready For Home’ is a full-time paid staff member 

who works one-on-one with individuals to 

maintain their health and housing and prevent 

homelessness. This program assists Nelson 

CARES tenants with life skills development, 

connection to health services, employment and 

income support... anything that will help these 

residents stay housed in their affordable unit 

and off the streets. 

Nelson CARES Society preserves, maintains, 

and develops safe affordable housing, but sometimes 

a place to live is not enough and people 

need some support to maintain that housing. 

Nelson CARES Society Executive Director 

Jenny Robinson says “Every year our gratitude 

grows for the community support we receive 

for CNOY, it is truly amazing. The funds go to 

support individuals to escape homelessness and 

stay housed.”

New affordable housing complex 

accepting rental applications 

A new affordable housing complex in 

Nelson is now accepting rental applications. 

The SHARE Housing complex is 

nearing completion, and will offer 39 

low-cost workforce housing units. The 

doors for each unit will open as early as 

September 1, 2021. 

The SHARE Housing complex is a 

partnership between the Kootenay 

Christian Fellowship, SHARE Housing 

Initiative Society, BC Housing, and 

Columbia Basin Trust. 

Founding Director and Chairperson 

of SHARE Housing Board Jim Reimer 

is excited to see his passion and dream 

come to fruition. “In dealing with social 

issues, it is not enough to say to people 

“get a job, or do better in life;” they 

need secure housing, proper education, 

and a loving and supportive network 

in their lives. We are delighted that we

essentials to 

folks in our community,” said Reimer. 

SHARE Housing Initiative is pleased 

to work with local companies and to 

use local resources to build the community 

housing complex. SHARE Housing 

Initiative is grateful for unwavering 

support from: the City of Nelson, Cover 

Architectural Collaborative Inc., Innovative 

Housing Consultants, S.H.A.R.E. 

Nelson, and a host of local consultants 

and trades. Chandos Construction is 

serving as our general contractor. 

“Wherever possible, we have used 

Kootenay products and companies for 

this project. For example, one of the 

great features of the building are the 

beams and panels for the complex that 

come from Kalesnikoff ’s new mass timber 

facility,” Reimer said. 

Ken Kalesnikoff, president and CEO 

of Kalesnikoff, said: “There is an obvious 

need for projects like this in our 

community, and we are thrilled to be 

involved. We commend the Kootenay 

Christian Fellowship for their vision, 

their leadership, and their efforts to 

bring this housing complex to life.” 

To apply for a rental unit, residents 

must meet the following criteria:

SUDOKU 

Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, 

broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a 

sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fi ll each 

row, column and box. Each number can appear 

only once in each row, column and box. You 

can fi gure out the order in which the numbers 

will appear by using the numeric clues already 

provided in the boxes. The more numbers you 

name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

Public engagement is an integral part of the Columbia Basin 

Trust Community Initiatives and Affected Areas Program Funding 

(CIP/AAP) process. Normally, public input into the grant 

awards would be received at community meetings held throughout 

the Regional District of Central Kootenay every April. However, 

due to the ongoing restrictions on public gatherings, the 

online engagement tool will be utilized again this year to ensure 

the grant process moves forward. This tool will allow the public to 

provide their feedback on proposed projects for the area in which 

they live. 

In 2020, the online engagement tool was very successful as a 

total of four thousand seven hundred and thirty (4730) entries 

were received. Once the public engagement period was complete, 

all feedback was shared with the adjudication committee of each 

of the 20 RDCK jurisdictions (11 electoral areas and nine municipalities) 

for their review and consideration. The adjudication 

committees then provided their recommendations to the RDCK 

Board of Directors. 

Please note the online engagement tool is not a voting system, 

but a way for the public to provide the feedback on projects they 

feel are most important to the area they live in. 

The public engagement period will be from March 29, 2021 at 

8:00 am to April 9, 2021 at 4:30 pm. 

To participate in the public engagement process, please visit the 

RDCK website at www.rdck.ca/cip-aap on or after March 29th.

Free talk on wills and estates 

Most of us don’t like to think about our eventual demise, and 

yet we care about what happens after we’re gone. The Nelson Public 

Library hosts a free evening dedicated to Wills and Estates presented 

by Nelson lawyer Troy Trillo on Thursday, April 8, at 7pm 

on Zoom. Email hgoldik@nelson.ca to register. 

Troy’s talk will look at a number of common questions, including: 

Do I need a Will? Can my Will be challenged if I don’t provide 

for my children equally? How long can I tie up my kids’ inheritance? 

Does having a blended family make a difference to my 

Will? What is a Power of Attorney? Doesn’t a Power of Attorney 

cover health care matters? Do I need a Representation Agreement? 

There will be time set aside after the talk for additional 

questions. 

Troy’s practice is focused primarily on solicitor’s work, including 

Wills & Estates, Corporate and Commercial, and Real Estate 

law. Trillo graduated from the Faculty of Law at UBC in 1999 with 

a Juris Doctor and is a partner in the law firm Connolly, Trillo & 

Yates. 

The Library invites people of all ages and stages of life to 

come and learn about this important topic.

So you want to be in pictures? 

The future of screen-based production in 

the West Kootenay just got a little brighter. 

Your chances of being involved in filmmaking 

are now better than ever since the Civic 

Theatre and Kootenay Rockies Tourism have 

announced the formation of the new Kootenay 

Regional Film Commission. 

The new film commission will design strategies 

and opportunities for economic development 

through increased capacity in film 

service and attraction for the region. This 

collaboration will create economic benefits 

for both the film and tourism industries. The 

commission is supported through provincial 

funding from Creative BC,and the province 

also provides funding to the partners through 

BC Arts Council and the Regional Destination 

Marketing Organization. 

The new Kootenay Regional Film Commission 

will 

• be the first point of contact for all 

Kootenay region film-related issues and 

activities,as one of the eight 

regional film commissions 

collaborating with the provincial 

film commission at Creative BC; 

• market activities for production attraction 

to the region, in collaboration with 

tourism strategies and activities; and 

• develop regional film resources including 

the locations library,crew and 

supply company database, and filming 

activity reporting and tracking. 

The Kootenay Regional Film Commission 

is a partnership between The Civic Theatreand 

Kootenay Rockies Tourism. These two 

organizations bring knowledge, expertise and 

capacity in the fields of tourism and destination 

management, economic development, 

film presentation and production, community 

program and service provision, and 

respective local, national and international 

networks in their fields. This partnership 

offers full regional coverage, facilitating cohesive 

communication and ease of logistics for 

production across a large, low-density area of 

British Columbia.

Film Commissioner position, may find

apply here:https://www.civictheatre.ca/blog/ 

film-commissioner-for-the-kootenay-region-job 

Since the official launch of The Civic Theatre’s 

Kootenay Screen-Based Industry program 

in 2016, there has been growing interest 

from regional stakeholders to proactively 

increase regional capacity to provide film 

commission services, to market the region 

to outside producers and production companies, 

and to further develop the local Kootenay 

screen-based industry. 

The Civic Theatre and Kootenay Rockies 

Tourism are strong partners with history 

in the region as established and trusted 

resources that value teamwork, inclusive 

practices, and innovation. Whereas Kootenay 

Rockies Tourism brings an established 

and professional tourism network to leverage 

marketing of the region for film, The Civic 

Theatre brings a growing and recognized 

local crew base network formed to provide

Throwing together a ceramics 

show at Touchstones 

Nelson Museum 

There may be few common threads between the artists showcased 

in THROWN, the latest group exhibition opening at 

Touchstones Nelson Museum, but one thing they all share is a 

love for ceramics. 

The show, which runs March 13 to May 29, is a group exhibition 

featuring a diverse cross-section of artists from across the 

country, all of which offer a distinct and exemplary approach to 

ceramics. Featured in the show are Samantha Dickie, an abstract 

assemblage artist from Victoria, BC; John Kuroc, an artist from 

Rankin Inlet, Nunavut, specializing in hand-built forms; Shary 

Boyle, an artist of many mediums who explores the fantastical 

potential of the human form; Jody Greenman-Barber, whose 

delicate works find inspiration from dance and movement; Sergio 

Raffo, a Kaslo resident of Cuban origin who works in both 

human and architectural forms; Robin Dupont, a specialist in 

atmospheric firing techniques and a skilled kiln-builder; and 

Rory Macdonald, an artist and professor at the Nova Scotia 

College of Art and Design, whose work blurs the line between 

installation and intervention. 

“These types of medium-centric group exhibitions create an 

opportunity for a rare form of dialogue amongst the participating 

artists, even in times when active mentorship and collaboration 

are not possible, as the respective works speak so 

strongly of perspective and means and method,” says Touchstones 

Nelson Curator Arin Fay. THROWN, Fay explains, is 

the second iteration of an ongoing series of medium-centric 

exhibitions which was inspired by Lost Thread, a well-received 

group textile show mounted in 2018 which highlighted six textile 

artists from across the nation, but with a very specific focus 

on regional Kootenay artists, and with “the same eye to diversity 

of expression and methodology,” she adds. “This formula 

of curating exhibitions gives us the opportunity to include ‘our’ 

artists in wide-ranging cultural and creative conversations, 

within a Canadian context.” 

This project is being supported through a Canada Council 

grant and has partnered with Selkirk College and Medalta 

in Medicine Hat. This exhibition project will support a tour 

to Medalta in the Summer of 2021, a publication, and online 

programming.

and programming at Touchstones Nelson Museum, visit

Fruitvale commits to 100% renewable energy 

After asking all the important questions, 

digging deeper into the opportunities, 

and seeing their residents show 

their support, the Village of Fruitvale 

became the 10th West Kootenay local 

government to make the commitment 

to 100% renewable energy by 2050. 

“I am really excited and proud that 

our Fruitvale team voted unanimously 

to be a part of this positive movement 

to help address climate change. Fruitvale 

is a very tiny place in the world, 

but I know if each of us do all we can 

in our area of influence, we will make 

a huge difference to the health of our 

ecosystems and people worldwide,” says 

Mayor Steve Morissette. 

The village council’s vote to support 

the transition to 100% renewable 

energy included direction for the community’s 

next steps: to collaborate with 

experts and residents to develop a plan 

by June 2022 for the village’s transition. 

Lynette Harper is a Fruitvale resident 

who wrote letters to her village council 

encouraging them to make the commitment 

to 100% renewable energy and a 

safer, healthier community. 

“It’s so exciting to add this to the 

great list of initiatives that Fruitvale has 

already begun,” she says. 

“I am so inspired by Fruitvale’s leadership 

and perseverance. In only a few 

months, the council and community of 

Fruitvale came together and supported 

each other in reaching this goal. Fruitvale 

is setting the path forward for other 

small and rural communities like theirs 

to live healthier, safer and cleaner lives,” 

says Natasha Edmunds, organizing 

director at West Kootenay EcoSociety. 

Fruitvale joins the nine West Kootenay 

governments that have already 

made the commitment to 100% renewable 

energy and recently developed 

the West Kootenay 100% Renewable 

Energy Plan: Rossland, Warfield, Kaslo, 

Castlegar, New Denver, Silverton, Slocan,

Oxygen celebrates National Poetry Month! 

2.5” x 5” 

Starting 

in February 

and running 

through to the end of April, 

Nelson’s Oxygen Art Centre 

is proud to offer online poetry 

classes for poets and poetry 

lovers of all levels. Instructor 

Rayya Liebich will help 

demystify reading and writing 

poetry, and to share the 

“delight in language play, have 

fun creating poems collaboratively, 

and most importantly 

discover that poetry is a gift for 

everyone.” says Rayya, who is 

offering three different classes: 

Be Not Afeard: A Poetry Workshop 

for Beginners, Tapping the 

Poetic Unconscious, and April 

Poetry Challenge: 30 Days, 30 

Poems! 

Oxygen officially kicks off 

their 2021 National Poetry 

Month celebrations with an 

online event featuring poetry 

and music to take on the dark 

times Canadian are enduring. 

On Wednesday March 31 at 7 

pm Winlaw author Tom Wayman 

and Vernon author and 

musician John Lent present 

“Dark Times Come Again No 

More” on Zoom. R.S.V.P. to attend by 

emailing info@oxygenartcentre.org. 

Following this event, join Susan 

Andrews Grace in Reading and 

Writing Rilke throughout April. This 

course will employ close reading of 

Rainer Marie Rilke’s poetry as inception 

for the participants’ own composition. 

There will be exploration of 

sound, rhythm, image, and mystery/ 

soul in Rilke. 

“For a long while, I’ve wanted to 

offer a course on Rilke that looks 

very closely at the text in order to 

learn more about writing,” shares 

Susan. “Rilke bears close reading. 

The writing in class will use the Practice 

of the Outside, posited by Jack 

Spicer, an American poet. In the 

class we will not be workshopping 

writing but rather spending all our 

time on reading and writing. It will 

be process-centred.” 

During these difficult pandemic 

times we are all missing spending 

time with our friends and family, so 

take an online course together! Oxygen 

is now offering a 10% discount 

for bringing a friend to any art class. 

Alternatively, give the gift of creativity 

with the new Oxygen Education 

Gift Certificate.

Fellow Sportsmen & Women: 

The new generation of scientists tell us the best thing we evil humans 

can do is stay behind the glass, away from nature. We apparently 

have no right to “manage” nature. We should close all the roads we 

use to recreate on because our pick-ups, quads, bikes,and snowmobiles 

will kill every critter we encounter. Even Caribou where there are 

no Caribou. This is happening across BC as more and more land is 

“parked”, based on the incorrect assumption that parks are “good, 

roads are bad for wildlife”. Meanwhile, the species 

that many of us hunt - elk, deer, moose, sheep - are 

declining, while wolves, coyotes, bears [mainly grizzlies] 

and cougars become more populous. 

We need access to control predators. We need game 

management to ensure we have healthy populations 

of big game, while maintaining sufficient access to 

our natural resources, which most rural families depend 

on for employment. 

Human impact on nature is not always positive but 

neither is human interaction with nature always negative. 

Active management through hunting, trapping 

and harvesting timber etc. is essential. The idea that 

nature will balance itself without human intervention 

is absurd. Forest harvesting provides large quantities 

of food for numerous species, especially when controlled 

burns are used following the forest harvest. 

When large areas are closed to human activities to 

protect Caribou, you can be assured the Caribou will 

decline like Spatsizi Park, many other National Parks, 

along with the end of the Selkirk & Purcell woodland 

Caribou. These areas become predator pits, wolves, 

cougars Classifieds and bears love these no-go Classifieds zones. This is a 

Classifieds Classifieds Classifieds 

fact IF THESE AREAS WERE OPENED AND PROPERLY 

MANAGED WE MAY STILL HAVE OUR CARIBOU TO- 

DAY. We invite you to become a “CONSERVATION 

PARTNER” with the Kootenay Wildlife Heritage Fund Society TODAY! 

Sincerely yours, 

Carmen C. Purdy
