SROAMazing Race at Whitewater<br />
Selkirk College students in the Ski Resort<br />
Management & Operations Program are hosting the<br />
annual SROAMazing Race at Whitewater Ski Resort<br />
on Sunday, <strong>March</strong> 28. Bring your best costumes and<br />
enthusiasm for a great day at the hill.<br />
With the countdown to the end of the<br />
Whitewater Ski Resort season on, Selkirk<br />
College students in the Ski Resort Management<br />
& Operations (SROAM) Program are<br />
inviting fresh air lovers to take one last shot<br />
at amazing.<br />
The <strong>Nelson</strong>-based SROAM Program is<br />
in its 40th year of providing the education<br />
and training for bright ski industry futures.<br />
As part of semester-end assignments, firstyear<br />
students are once again organizing the<br />
SROAMazing Race that takes place on Sunday,<br />
<strong>March</strong> 28. A full day of activities includes<br />
a scavenger hunt, costume contest, skin-towin<br />
race and video contest. With a deep list<br />
of local sponsors, the day also carries promise<br />
of plenty of terrific prizes.<br />
“In year’s past, the SROAMazing Race has<br />
brought the community together and that<br />
spirit has never been more important than<br />
now,” says first-year SROAM Program student<br />
Max Jones. “It has also created a great<br />
opportunity for students to gain knowledge<br />
about the responsibilities of creating an event<br />
like this as we prepare for careers in the<br />
industry.”<br />
This year’s SROAMazing Race is adding<br />
environmental awareness<br />
to the day’s<br />
activities with focus<br />
on POW (Protect Our Winters) Canada, a<br />
national organization with a mission to turn<br />
passionate outdoor people in effective climate<br />
advocates. All money raised will go towards<br />
POW’s efforts towards sustainability of the<br />
outdoor industry.<br />
“Without snow, we obviously wouldn’t<br />
be able to continue participating in these<br />
beloved sports, so it’s important to do our job<br />
as a collective to create a change,” says Jones.<br />
The activities run between 10 am and 3<br />
pm. The skin-to-win race will take place on<br />
Sluice Box, where students encourage people<br />
to bring their skins and get their game face<br />
on. The annual scavenger hunt will be set up<br />
for teams of two all over the mountain and<br />
participants can arrive anytime to take part<br />
in the hunt. The video contest is looking to<br />
hear from people in two minutes or less about<br />
what they are doing in your daily lives to help<br />
protect our winters. Don’t forget your costumes,<br />
there are some sweet prizes for the<br />
best dressed.<br />
“The day will feature all of the activities and<br />
with the help of some wonderful sponsors,<br />
the SROAM team will be giving out some<br />
spectacular prizes too,” says Jones. “Last year,<br />
COVID-19 unfortunately put a halt on the<br />
2020 class’s race, so we are feeling very eager<br />
to get things rolling again. Alongside the<br />
province’s regulations, the class has ensured<br />
that all COVID protocols are up to standard<br />
and that participants can be confident in their<br />
health and safety during the day.”<br />
Participants can register and find more<br />
information by heading to the SROAMazing<br />
Race 2021 Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/SroamazingRace)<br />
or by emailing<br />

“The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted<br />
our lives in countless ways. To keep each<br />
other safe, we have had to limit activities that<br />
are fundamental to our normal way of life,”<br />
said Premier John Horgan. “While we are<br />
not out of the woods yet,<br />
there is hope on the horizon<br />
and we are now ready to,<br />
gradually and safely, resume<br />
some of these activities. That<br />
includes getting young people back on the ice<br />
this season.”<br />
The revised plan from the BCHL has<br />
improved safety protocols in place including<br />
health screening and testing, limited travel,<br />
“pod” cities and a pre-season quarantine<br />
plan. Protocols are also in place to limit interactions<br />
between players, coaches and staff<br />
from the BCHL, and the communities they<br />
play in. The five pods will be located in Penticton,<br />
Coquitlam, Chilliwack, Vernon and<br />
Port Alberni.<br />

“Sports are important for young people’s<br />
development and we understand how hard<br />
the time away from friends and teammates<br />
has been,” said Adrian Dix, Minister of<br />
Health. “I know that Dr. Henry and her team<br />
are working hard to determine how to safely<br />
return more leagues back to the field of play<br />
this spring.”<br />
The one-time variances to the gathering<br />
and events order to allow the league to return<br />
to play may be amended based on the latest<br />

Share the love ♥<br />
and win<br />
Destination BC has launched the Share<br />
Your Love for BC Contest, an engagement<br />
and advocacy initiative for British Columbia<br />
residents to re-ignite their pride of place,<br />
share their love for their province, and keep<br />
the magic of BC top of mind.<br />
From the ability to access awe inspiring<br />
nature at our doorstep, to experiencing<br />
diverse cultures, our award-winning culinary<br />
scene, and the sense of calm that comes from<br />
the sound of a crashing coastal wave, there<br />
are countless reasons <strong>–</strong> big and small <strong>–</strong> why<br />
British Columbians feel grateful to call this<br />
province home. From now until <strong>March</strong> 26,<br />
BC residents (ages 19+) are invited to share<br />
their own reasons why they love BC or their<br />
community, by submitting a photo and brief<br />
story on ShareYourLoveforBC.com, for their<br />
chance to win one of ten prizes.<br />
Ten residents will each win $500 in gift<br />
cards or vouchers to spend at up to three<br />
local businesses, within their own community,<br />
to further support Destination BC’s Stay<br />
Local, Support Local initiative. Winners will<br />
be selected by random draw at the end of the<br />
contest period (<strong>March</strong> 26) and announced on<br />
social media. Throughout the contest, Destination<br />
BC will also share some of the submissions<br />
on its social media channels.<br />
To enter the contest, or for more information<br />
including contest rules<br />
and regulations, please visit<br />
ShareYourLoveforBC.com.<br />
Since November 7, Destination<br />
BC has paused all<br />
marketing promoting travel<br />
in BC, to help support the<br />
Provincial Health Officer’s<br />
recommendation against all<br />
non-essential travel into, out<br />
of, and around the province,<br />
until further notice. During<br />
that time, efforts have shifted<br />
to encouraging BC residents<br />
to follow the current guidelines,<br />
stay in their own communities,<br />
and support local<br />
businesses.<br />

of programs. Since the COVID-19 pandemic<br />
forced the pivot to remote post-secondary<br />
learning in <strong>March</strong> 2020, Selkirk College has<br />
instituted health and safety protocols that has<br />
provided in-person education where possible<br />
and online where required.<br />
“It has been a challenging year for post-secondary<br />
faculty, instructors and staff,” says<br />
Anne Kang, Minister of<br />
Advanced Education &<br />

pandemic, while successfully preventing the<br />
spread of COVID-19 on BC campuses. While<br />
we update the guidelines to ensure on-campus<br />
safety, I encourage students and families<br />
to start planning for in-person instruction on<br />
a campus of their choice in September.”<br />
Selkirk College is currently operating 30<br />
per cent of its educational delivery in-person,<br />
through various programs on different campuses.<br />
Following provincial protocols, the<br />
college’s health and safety plan has been successfully<br />
tested with results that provide confidence<br />
moving forward into the next stage of<br />
pandemic recovery.<br />
“It has been a difficult 12 months for our<br />
college, but students, faculty and staff have<br />
proven their resilience as we have all continue<br />
to work towards desired outcomes in a most<br />
unusual year,” says Rhys Andrews, Selkirk<br />

Unit 2, 688 18 th St, Castlegar 250.365.2026<br />
Next to Common Grounds Coffee House<br />
College’s Vice President of Education.<br />
“Students have said to us that<br />
the in-person element of their education<br />
is vital. We are encouraged<br />
that we can now prepare plans<br />
for programs that previously had<br />
in-person learning. This will give<br />
new<br />
and returning students an<br />
experience that meshes<br />
with the<br />
overall<br />
provincial<br />
landscape in<br />
September.”<br />
The expected<br />
immunization<br />
timelines for<br />
the COVID-<br />
19 virus currently<br />
project that all vulnerable and high-risk<br />
groups should have the vaccine by spring.<br />
The majority of the adult population in British<br />
Columbia is expected to have access to<br />
immunization by the start of most Selkirk<br />
College programs in September.<br />
Health and safety protocols will remain<br />
the priority at Selkirk College with reducing<br />
the opportunity for infectious contacts<br />
a key component to revised plans. With the<br />
safety of all who arrive on campuses the number-one<br />
priority, what will remain in place<br />
is the now-familiar prevention activities of<br />
self-administered health checks, facilitating<br />
hand cleaning through access to soap and<br />
water, encouraging the use of hand sanitizers,<br />
use of masks, physical distancing, early<br />
detecting and rapid testing, and case and contact<br />
management.<br />
As the college moves forward in its planning<br />
for a safe return to campus in September<br />
2021, there will be further details on what<br />
this means for specific programs, services and<br />
activities provided in the coming weeks. To<br />
continue meeting its strategic goals of access,<br />
Selkirk College will also incorporate what has<br />
been learned over the last year with regards<br />
to providing delivery of programming that is<br />
available to a wider cohort of students.<br />
“I have been inspired by the ability of our<br />
faculty and staff to adapt to the situation while<br />
continuing to ensure that students are delivered<br />
the education and training they need to<br />
succeed after graduation,” says Andrews. “We<br />
have learned so much about different ways to<br />
deliver programs and new light has been shed<br />
on how we can provide even better services<br />
that will enable learner success. The institution<br />
will take what it has learned over the<br />
last year, add it to what has been proven<br />
successful in the past, and provide an<br />
in-person campus experience that<br />
will be exciting for<br />
everyone.”<br />

Zebra mussels found<br />
in moss balls<br />
Anyone who has a moss ball in their aquarium<br />
is being asked to inspect the plant for invasive<br />
zebra mussels now that the highly invasive<br />
species has been found in a number of locations<br />
throughout the province.<br />
During the past weekend, conservation<br />
officers conducted more than 600 inspections<br />
at retail aquatic pet and plant stores and<br />
found zebra mussels in moss balls at multiple<br />
locations.<br />
Zebra mussels pose a major threat if released<br />
into a BC waterway. The tiny mussels can wreak<br />
havoc on aquatic ecosystems because they<br />
multiply rapidly and are extremely difficult to<br />
eradicate.<br />
The Conservation Officer Service (COS) is<br />
investigating how widespread the problem of<br />
mussel-infested moss balls may be in the province.<br />
The COS is working with ministry science<br />
experts, Canadian and US counterparts, industry<br />
retailers and distributors to help prevent any<br />
potential spread of invasive zebra mussels. To<br />
date, there has been no reported introduction of<br />
live zebra mussels into BC lakes or waterways.<br />
The moss balls, which are often sold as<br />
marimo moss balls, are species of green algae<br />
typically purchased for aquariums to improve<br />
water quality. Moss balls can also be purchased<br />
online.<br />

Once they turn 65, B.C. resident anglers pay<br />

government has provided the option<br />
for seniors to continue paying the full $36 rate<br />
charged to residents 16 and older. Many senior<br />
anglers in this province have been asking if they<br />
could purchase a licence at full price to help<br />
support the Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC<br />
and the Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation<br />

Teamwork is the fuel that makes <strong>Nelson</strong><br />
CARES Society’s Coldest Night of the Year<br />
fundraising event such a success every year. The<br />
community comes together to make up teams<br />
of co-workers, family, friends, housemates or,<br />
this year, Nordic skiers. <strong>Nelson</strong> Nordic Ski Club<br />
put together a team that might have been powered<br />
by jet fuel.<br />
The team of seven cross-country skiers raised<br />
more than $8,750 <strong>–</strong> but that’s not all. On Saturday,<br />
February 20, the <strong>Nelson</strong> Nordic Ski Club<br />
donated another $345 from day pass revenue,<br />
bringing the total funds raised by the club to<br />
over $9,000.<br />
Each team member put in some serious distance.<br />
The youngest team member, Maya Abraham,<br />
15, skied 50km on the day with her mom,<br />
Doris Hausleitner. Meanwhile, Richmond<br />
skied 100km with other team members Travis<br />
Hauck and James Crossman. Andrew Earnshaw<br />
rounded out the group, skiing 50 km.<br />
Each year Coldest Night of Year awards those<br />
individual fundraisers who raise over $1000 a<br />
coveted gold button. Well, both Richmond and<br />

Earnshaw could be sporting 3 of these button,<br />
each raising more than $3000 to support their<br />
team and the work on <strong>Nelson</strong> CARES Society.<br />
This year’s <strong>Nelson</strong> CARES Society CNOY<br />
fundraising campaign blew the roof off the<br />
previous fundraising numbers. This is the case<br />
nationally, as well, with many of the 149 other<br />
CNOY locations across the country reporting<br />
record fundraising totals. <strong>Nelson</strong> ranked 31st<br />
out of those 149 locations on dollars raised.<br />
The Coldest Night of the Year fundraising<br />
event fully funds the <strong>Nelson</strong> CARES Society’s<br />
‘Ready For Home’ program. At the core of<br />
‘Ready For Home’ is a full-time paid staff member<br />
who works one-on-one with individuals to<br />
maintain their health and housing and prevent<br />
homelessness. This program assists <strong>Nelson</strong><br />
CARES tenants with life skills development,<br />
connection to health services, employment and<br />
income support... anything that will help these<br />
residents stay housed in their affordable unit<br />
and off the streets.<br />
<strong>Nelson</strong> CARES Society preserves, maintains,<br />
and develops safe affordable housing, but sometimes<br />
a place to live is not enough and people<br />
need some support to maintain that housing.<br />
<strong>Nelson</strong> CARES Society Executive Director<br />
Jenny Robinson says “Every year our gratitude<br />
grows for the community support we receive<br />
for CNOY, it is truly amazing. The funds go to<br />
support individuals to escape homelessness and<br />
stay housed.”<br />

New affordable housing complex<br />
accepting rental applications<br />
A new affordable housing complex in<br />
<strong>Nelson</strong> is now accepting rental applications.<br />
The SHARE Housing complex is<br />
nearing completion, and will offer 39<br />
low-cost workforce housing units. The<br />
doors for each unit will open as early as<br />
September 1, 2021.<br />
The SHARE Housing complex is a<br />
partnership between the Kootenay<br />
Christian Fellowship, SHARE Housing<br />
Initiative Society, BC Housing, and<br />
Columbia Basin Trust.<br />
Founding Director and Chairperson<br />
of SHARE Housing Board Jim Reimer<br />
is excited to see his passion and dream<br />
come to fruition. “In dealing with social<br />
issues, it is not enough to say to people<br />
“get a job, or do better in life;” they<br />
need secure housing, proper education,<br />
and a loving and supportive network<br />
in their lives. We are delighted that we<br />

SHARE Housing Initiative is pleased<br />
to work with local companies and to<br />
use local resources to build the community<br />
housing complex. SHARE Housing<br />
Initiative is grateful for unwavering<br />
support from: the City of <strong>Nelson</strong>, Cover<br />
Architectural Collaborative Inc., Innovative<br />
Housing Consultants, S.H.A.R.E.<br />
<strong>Nelson</strong>, and a host of local consultants<br />
and trades. Chandos Construction is<br />
serving as our general contractor.<br />
“Wherever possible, we have used<br />
Kootenay products and companies for<br />
this project. For example, one of the<br />
great features of the building are the<br />
beams and panels for the complex that<br />
come from Kalesnikoff ’s new mass timber<br />
facility,” Reimer said.<br />
Ken Kalesnikoff, president and CEO<br />
of Kalesnikoff, said: “There is an obvious<br />
need for projects like this in our<br />
community, and we are thrilled to be<br />
involved. We commend the Kootenay<br />
Christian Fellowship for their vision,<br />
their leadership, and their efforts to<br />
bring this housing complex to life.”<br />

SUDOKU<br />
Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid,<br />
broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a<br />
sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fi ll each<br />
row, column and box. Each number can appear<br />
only once in each row, column and box. You<br />
can fi gure out the order in which the numbers<br />
will appear by using the numeric clues already<br />
provided in the boxes. The more numbers you<br />
name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!<br />

Public engagement is an integral part of the Columbia Basin<br />
Trust Community Initiatives and Affected Areas Program Funding<br />
(CIP/AAP) process. Normally, public input into the grant<br />
awards would be received at community meetings held throughout<br />
the Regional District of Central Kootenay every April. However,<br />
due to the ongoing restrictions on public gatherings, the<br />
online engagement tool will be utilized again this year to ensure<br />
the grant process moves forward. This tool will allow the public to<br />
provide their feedback on proposed projects for the area in which<br />
they live.<br />
In 2020, the online engagement tool was very successful as a<br />
total of four thousand seven hundred and thirty (4730) entries<br />
were received. Once the public engagement period was complete,<br />
all feedback was shared with the adjudication committee of each<br />
of the 20 RDCK jurisdictions (11 electoral areas and nine municipalities)<br />
for their review and consideration. The adjudication<br />
committees then provided their recommendations to the RDCK<br />
Board of Directors.<br />
Please note the online engagement tool is not a voting system,<br />
but a way for the public to provide the feedback on projects they<br />
feel are most important to the area they live in.<br />
The public engagement period will be from <strong>March</strong> 29, 2021 at<br />
8:00 am to April 9, 2021 at 4:30 pm.<br />
To participate in the public engagement process, please visit the<br />
RDCK website at www.rdck.ca/cip-aap on or after <strong>March</strong> 29th.<br />

Free talk on wills and estates<br />
Most of us don’t like to think about our eventual demise, and<br />
yet we care about what happens after we’re gone. The <strong>Nelson</strong> Public<br />
Library hosts a free evening dedicated to Wills and Estates presented<br />
by <strong>Nelson</strong> lawyer Troy Trillo on Thursday, April 8, at 7pm<br />
on Zoom. Email hgoldik@nelson.ca to register.<br />
Troy’s talk will look at a number of common questions, including:<br />
Do I need a Will? Can my Will be challenged if I don’t provide<br />
for my children equally? How long can I tie up my kids’ inheritance?<br />
Does having a blended family make a difference to my<br />
Will? What is a Power of Attorney? Doesn’t a Power of Attorney<br />
cover health care matters? Do I need a Representation Agreement?<br />
There will be time set aside after the talk for additional<br />
questions.<br />
Troy’s practice is focused primarily on solicitor’s work, including<br />
Wills & Estates, Corporate and Commercial, and Real Estate<br />
law. Trillo graduated from the Faculty of Law at UBC in 1999 with<br />
a Juris Doctor and is a partner in the law firm Connolly, Trillo &<br />
Yates.<br />
The Library invites people of all ages and stages of life to<br />
come and learn about this important topic.<br />

So you want to be in pictures?<br />
The future of screen-based production in<br />
the West Kootenay just got a little brighter.<br />
Your chances of being involved in filmmaking<br />
are now better than ever since the Civic<br />
Theatre and Kootenay Rockies Tourism have<br />
announced the formation of the new Kootenay<br />
Regional Film Commission.<br />
The new film commission will design strategies<br />
and opportunities for economic development<br />
through increased capacity in film<br />
service and attraction for the region. This<br />
collaboration will create economic benefits<br />
for both the film and tourism industries. The<br />
commission is supported through provincial<br />
funding from Creative BC,and the province<br />
also provides funding to the partners through<br />
BC Arts Council and the Regional Destination<br />
Marketing Organization.<br />
The new Kootenay Regional Film Commission<br />
will<br />
• be the first point of contact for all<br />
Kootenay region film-related issues and<br />
activities,as one of the eight<br />
regional film commissions<br />
collaborating with the provincial<br />
film commission at Creative BC;<br />
• market activities for production attraction<br />
to the region, in collaboration with<br />
tourism strategies and activities; and<br />
• develop regional film resources including<br />
the locations library,crew and<br />
supply company database, and filming<br />
activity reporting and tracking.<br />
The Kootenay Regional Film Commission<br />
is a partnership between The Civic Theatreand<br />
Kootenay Rockies Tourism. These two<br />
organizations bring knowledge, expertise and<br />
capacity in the fields of tourism and destination<br />
management, economic development,<br />
film presentation and production, community<br />
program and service provision, and<br />
respective local, national and international<br />
networks in their fields. This partnership<br />
offers full regional coverage, facilitating cohesive<br />
communication and ease of logistics for<br />
production across a large, low-density area of<br />
British Columbia.<br />

Film Commissioner position, may find<br />

Since the official launch of The Civic Theatre’s<br />
Kootenay Screen-Based Industry program<br />
in 2016, there has been growing interest<br />
from regional stakeholders to proactively<br />
increase regional capacity to provide film<br />
commission services, to market the region<br />
to outside producers and production companies,<br />
and to further develop the local Kootenay<br />
screen-based industry.<br />
The Civic Theatre and Kootenay Rockies<br />
Tourism are strong partners with history<br />
in the region as established and trusted<br />
resources that value teamwork, inclusive<br />
practices, and innovation. Whereas Kootenay<br />
Rockies Tourism brings an established<br />
and professional tourism network to leverage<br />
marketing of the region for film, The Civic<br />

Throwing together a ceramics<br />
show at Touchstones<br />
<strong>Nelson</strong> Museum<br />
There may be few common threads between the artists showcased<br />
in THROWN, the latest group exhibition opening at<br />
Touchstones <strong>Nelson</strong> Museum, but one thing they all share is a<br />
love for ceramics.<br />
The show, which runs <strong>March</strong> 13 to May 29, is a group exhibition<br />
featuring a diverse cross-section of artists from across the<br />
country, all of which offer a distinct and exemplary approach to<br />
ceramics. Featured in the show are Samantha Dickie, an abstract<br />
assemblage artist from Victoria, BC; John Kuroc, an artist from<br />
Rankin Inlet, Nunavut, specializing in hand-built forms; Shary<br />
Boyle, an artist of many mediums who explores the fantastical<br />
potential of the human form; Jody Greenman-Barber, whose<br />
delicate works find inspiration from dance and movement; Sergio<br />
Raffo, a Kaslo resident of Cuban origin who works in both<br />
human and architectural forms; Robin Dupont, a specialist in<br />
atmospheric firing techniques and a skilled kiln-builder; and<br />
Rory Macdonald, an artist and professor at the Nova Scotia<br />
College of Art and Design, whose work blurs the line between<br />
installation and intervention.<br />
“These types of medium-centric group exhibitions create an<br />
opportunity for a rare form of dialogue amongst the participating<br />
artists, even in times when active mentorship and collaboration<br />
are not possible, as the respective works speak so<br />
strongly of perspective and means and method,” says Touchstones<br />
<strong>Nelson</strong> Curator Arin Fay. THROWN, Fay explains, is<br />
the second iteration of an ongoing series of medium-centric<br />
exhibitions which was inspired by Lost Thread, a well-received<br />
group textile show mounted in 2018 which highlighted six textile<br />
artists from across the nation, but with a very specific focus<br />
on regional Kootenay artists, and with “the same eye to diversity<br />
of expression and methodology,” she adds. “This formula<br />
of curating exhibitions gives us the opportunity to include ‘our’<br />
artists in wide-ranging cultural and creative conversations,<br />
within a Canadian context.”<br />
This project is being supported through a Canada Council<br />
grant and has partnered with Selkirk College and Medalta<br />
in Medicine Hat. This exhibition project will support a tour<br />
to Medalta in the Summer of 2021, a publication, and online<br />
programming.<br />

Fruitvale commits to 100% renewable energy<br />
After asking all the important questions,<br />
digging deeper into the opportunities,<br />
and seeing their residents show<br />
their support, the Village of Fruitvale<br />
became the 10th West Kootenay local<br />
government to make the commitment<br />
to 100% renewable energy by 2050.<br />
“I am really excited and proud that<br />
our Fruitvale team voted unanimously<br />
to be a part of this positive movement<br />
to help address climate change. Fruitvale<br />
is a very tiny place in the world,<br />
but I know if each of us do all we can<br />
in our area of influence, we will make<br />
a huge difference to the health of our<br />
ecosystems and people worldwide,” says<br />
Mayor Steve Morissette.<br />
The village council’s vote to support<br />
the transition to 100% renewable<br />
energy included direction for the community’s<br />
next steps: to collaborate with<br />
experts and residents to develop a plan<br />
by June 20<strong>22</strong> for the village’s transition.<br />
Lynette Harper is a Fruitvale resident<br />
who wrote letters to her village council<br />
encouraging them to make the commitment<br />
to 100% renewable energy and a<br />
safer, healthier community.<br />
“It’s so exciting to add this to the<br />
great list of initiatives that Fruitvale has<br />
already begun,” she says.<br />
“I am so inspired by Fruitvale’s leadership<br />
and perseverance. In only a few<br />
months, the council and community of<br />
Fruitvale came together and supported<br />
each other in reaching this goal. Fruitvale<br />
is setting the path forward for other<br />
small and rural communities like theirs<br />
to live healthier, safer and cleaner lives,”<br />
says Natasha Edmunds, organizing<br />
director at West Kootenay EcoSociety.<br />
Fruitvale joins the nine West Kootenay<br />
governments that have already<br />
made the commitment to 100% renewable<br />
energy and recently developed<br />
the West Kootenay 100% Renewable<br />
Energy Plan: Rossland, Warfield, Kaslo,<br />
Castlegar, New Denver, Silverton, Slocan,<br />
<strong>Nelson</strong>, and the RDCK.<br />

Oxygen celebrates National Poetry Month!<br />
2.5” x 5”<br />
Starting<br />
in February<br />
and running<br />
through to the end of April,<br />
<strong>Nelson</strong>’s Oxygen Art Centre<br />
is proud to offer online poetry<br />
classes for poets and poetry<br />
lovers of all levels. Instructor<br />
Rayya Liebich will help<br />
demystify reading and writing<br />
poetry, and to share the<br />
“delight in language play, have<br />
fun creating poems collaboratively,<br />
and most importantly<br />
discover that poetry is a gift for<br />
everyone.” says Rayya, who is<br />
offering three different classes:<br />
Be Not Afeard: A Poetry Workshop<br />
for Beginners, Tapping the<br />
Poetic Unconscious, and April<br />
Poetry Challenge: 30 Days, 30<br />
Poems!<br />
Oxygen officially kicks off<br />
their 2021 National Poetry<br />
Month celebrations with an<br />
online event featuring poetry<br />
and music to take on the dark<br />
times Canadian are enduring.<br />
On Wednesday <strong>March</strong> 31 at 7<br />
pm Winlaw author Tom Wayman<br />
and Vernon author and<br />
musician John Lent present<br />
“Dark Times Come Again No<br />
More” on Zoom. R.S.V.P. to attend by<br />
emailing info@oxygenartcentre.org.<br />
Following this event, join Susan<br />
Andrews Grace in Reading and<br />
Writing Rilke throughout April. This<br />
course will employ close reading of<br />
Rainer Marie Rilke’s poetry as inception<br />
for the participants’ own composition.<br />
There will be exploration of<br />
sound, rhythm, image, and mystery/<br />
soul in Rilke.<br />
“For a long while, I’ve wanted to<br />
offer a course on Rilke that looks<br />
very closely at the text in order to<br />
learn more about writing,” shares<br />
Susan. “Rilke bears close reading.<br />
The writing in class will use the Practice<br />
of the Outside, posited by Jack<br />
Spicer, an American poet. In the<br />
class we will not be workshopping<br />
writing but rather spending all our<br />
time on reading and writing. It will<br />
be process-centred.”<br />
During these difficult pandemic<br />
times we are all missing spending<br />
time with our friends and family, so<br />
take an online course together! Oxygen<br />
is now offering a 10% discount<br />
for bringing a friend to any art class.<br />
Alternatively, give the gift of creativity<br />
with the new Oxygen Education<br />
Gift Certificate.<br />

Fellow Sportsmen & Women:<br />
The new generation of scientists tell us the best thing we evil humans<br />
can do is stay behind the glass, away from nature. We apparently<br />
have no right to “manage” nature. We should close all the roads we<br />
use to recreate on because our pick-ups, quads, bikes,and snowmobiles<br />
will kill every critter we encounter. Even Caribou where there are<br />
no Caribou. This is happening across BC as more and more land is<br />
“parked”, based on the incorrect assumption that parks are “good,<br />
roads are bad for wildlife”. Meanwhile, the species<br />
that many of us hunt - elk, deer, moose, sheep - are<br />
declining, while wolves, coyotes, bears [mainly grizzlies]<br />
and cougars become more populous.<br />
We need access to control predators. We need game<br />
management to ensure we have healthy populations<br />
of big game, while maintaining sufficient access to<br />
our natural resources, which most rural families depend<br />
on for employment.<br />
Human impact on nature is not always positive but<br />
neither is human interaction with nature always negative.<br />
Active management through hunting, trapping<br />
and harvesting timber etc. is essential. The idea that<br />
nature will balance itself without human intervention<br />
is absurd. Forest harvesting provides large quantities<br />
of food for numerous species, especially when controlled<br />
burns are used following the forest harvest.<br />
When large areas are closed to human activities to<br />
protect Caribou, you can be assured the Caribou will<br />
decline like Spatsizi Park, many other National Parks,<br />
along with the end of the Selkirk & Purcell woodland<br />
Caribou. These areas become predator pits, wolves,<br />
cougars Classifieds and bears love these no-go Classifieds zones. This is a<br />
Classifieds Classifieds Classifieds<br />
fact IF THESE AREAS WERE OPENED AND PROPERLY<br />
MANAGED WE MAY STILL HAVE OUR CARIBOU TO-<br />
DAY. We invite you to become a “CONSERVATION<br />
PARTNER” with the Kootenay Wildlife Heritage Fund Society TODAY!<br />
