Environmental assessment waived

The company has just been directed to do everything as efficiently as possible and they’re waiving the environmental assessment. Which may in one case be reasonable because of the wind and its passiveness. However, they are notorious for bird kills and I would think that would be part of the environment. More on this later we hope. Maybe we can get a quote from theNicola Naturalist Society Incorporated. Alan Berger president.

Good luck

Snow was dear back then…

The Merritt and District Chamber of Commerce  is long in the tooth here in our South Central interior British Columbia town /city.

We have observed over time the effectiveness of this small organization + its worthiness by being linked to numbers of other organizations such as local government, provincial government hydro. And anybody? Trying to make a buck in a livelihood in our country, CC work.

Our life here above 600 m would not be the same without the hard-working volunteers and business people that come together in this medium.
