The Nicola and naturalist society says in their publications that everyone is welcome to their non-profit showings at the theater at the local college at top of the hill belford avenue in Merritt. Donations and memberships are welcomed. No food or drink in the lecture. Theater free parking.
Perhaps the most memorable trade sanctions for us in Canada or British Columbia. Any time, were the countervailing duties Americans put on us when they began to feel the pressure of the modernization by numbers of sawmills and logging operations in British Columbia in particular.
These innovations cut local workforces down considerably. A milling operations such as one planer in Merritt,was once started in the home of a single entrepreneur; Bud Woodford, in the center of the town; Merritt had grown to being able to have 300 working people there at the birth of free trade . Some just very unskilled labour. All making livelihoods and used to having good jobs and skilled jobs at the height of markets.
Log port out of Stewart BC ended raw logs export when hydro power came for milling.
Inovation
The soft wood countervailing taxes Americans put on were mitigated by the fact that value added escaped it. We remember that the Mills here then became complimented by smaller Mills that did value-added, that was anything that wasn’t a 2×4 a 2×6 and other dimensional lumber (good reputation in the US Canadian blue) and had value added in it, including door jambs made of short pieces of cut offs, they were put into finger joints and were marketable in with attitude of value grown contribution rather then exploitation.
Opportunity meets ambition…
Innovation shouldn’t be stifled by heavy taxes it should be discovered in its trail of test.
Ostriches are raised for meat, feathers and eggs and are commercial. However these bunch of hostages in the news of late were going away from that and we’re used for tourism. Coming endeared to some keepers. Wouldn’t have been, if it was just for meat.
Avian flu
This is a very serious condition that affects foul and gets into people it can be fatal to people and the closer they are the bigger population areas and more of a risk.
The cull that was ordered by the authorities has been stayed and there may be a presentation between the parties at the Supreme Court of Canada and there is a controversy over testing the remaining birds, 300 out of a possible 450 that had contacted the avian flu and are under scrutiny.
H5N1
The virus involved is H5N1, and could be a particularly concern at the start of the flu season and respiratory illness that could accompany it.
Rivers pickup our rain and deliver it back to our seas and in the interim they water crops and they mitigate carbon and they mitigate phosphorus and all sorts of things that are being brought to the surface and give us a good environment.
Mallard ducks are the most prevalent around our place, our neck of the woods here in Merritt, British Columbia. We love our Mallard ducks.
The local naturalist club will begin their regular weekend fall and winter schedule on the 18th. Their meetings are generally most months on the third Thursday at 7:00 at the Nicola Valley institute of technology, top of the hill Belshaw Avenue in Merritt.
You’re right, ghosting is similar to shunning, but there are some key differences. Shunning is a formal practice often used by religious groups as a form of discipline or punishment. Ghosting, on the other hand, is usually an informal act by an individual.
Is it Illegal
No, ghosting isn’t illegal, but it can definitely cause emotional distress. It’s not considered assault, but it can still be hurtful.
Hard on the personality
Yeah, ghosting can be really tough on some people. It can lead to feelings of rejection, confusion, and even lower self-esteem. In some cases, it can trigger anxiety or depression, especially if there were already some underlying mental health issues.
Is it a method appropriate
You are not likely to be the only judge on that. We believe that it could range from overbearing dominance to just simple withdrawal. Honesty in all things always reduces complicated rhetoric.
Just next door to 2202 Voght Street in Merritt, Saturdays from 9:00 to 1:30 p.m. there is a farmers market. In the curling parking lot. Preferred access off Merritt Avenue. There are recreational opportunities with the Nicola Valley aquatic Center. Within walking distance is also the Merritt A&W and block and a half away. There is a new Valley graze for artisan prepared meals.
Welcome to Merritt.

Canoe “I just deliver them-driver.”
Big Canoe
Regulated
One personal floatation device for every person required. Read on….
The regulations for canoeing in Alberta are primarily governed by Transport Canada’s Small Vessel Regulations, as boating safety is a federal responsibility in Canada. Alberta also has specific regulations regarding aquatic invasive species. Here’s a breakdown of what canoes need in Alberta: Flotation Devices (Life Jackets/PFDs) * One life jacket or Personal Flotation Device (PFD) for each person on board. This is a non-negotiable requirement for all watercraft, including human-powered ones like canoes. * Canadian-approved: The life jacket or PFD must be Canadian-approved. There are three main types: * SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) lifejackets: High-performance, approved for all vessels, turn you on your back even if unconscious. * Standard Type lifejackets: Approved for all vessels except SOLAS, also turn you on your back even if unconscious. * Small Vessel lifejackets: Approved for small vessels. * Proper Fit: It’s crucial that the life jacket or PFD fits snugly and correctly. For children, it should not ride up over their chin or ears, and there should be less than 7.6 cm (3 inches) between their shoulders and the device. * Condition: Ripped or poorly conditioned flotation devices are not considered approved. * Inflatable PFDs: Inflatable PFDs are prohibited for people under 16 years of age or who weigh under 36.3 kg (80 lbs.), and for operators of personal watercraft. Paddle Equipment and Other Required Safety Gear
Measure your boat for the activity requirements.
For canoes up to 6 meters (19’8″) in length, you generally need the following, in addition to life jackets/PFDs: * Buoyant Heaving Line: A buoyant heaving line at least 15 meters (50 feet) long. * Bailing Device: A bailer or a manual bilge pump. (Note: Not required for craft with watertight compartments that won’t allow the craft to hold enough water to capsize). * Sound Signalling Device: A sound signalling device (like a pea-less whistle for human-powered craft). * Reboarding Device (if applicable): A reboarding device (like a ladder) is required unless the vertical height to climb to reboard the pleasure craft is not more than 0.5 meters. * Navigation Lights (if applicable): If you are operating after sunset and before sunrise or in periods of restricted visibility, you need navigation lights. For a canoe, a single light (like a watertight flashlight, lantern, or torch) is sufficient. Additional Recommendations and Important Considerations * Spare Paddle: It’s always recommended to have one paddle per person in the canoe plus a spare. * Watertight Flashlight: While sometimes covered by navigation light requirements, a watertight flashlight is always a good idea, especially for low-light conditions. * First Aid Kit: Although not explicitly listed as mandatory for all canoes by Transport Canada, it’s highly recommended to carry a first aid kit. For guided excursions, specific first aid kit requirements apply. * Helmet: For river paddling, especially on Class 3 or above waters (whitewater), a helmet of an appropriate size is required. Paddle Canada also requires helmets on all Class II and above waterways for sanctioned courses and participants. * Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) Regulations: Alberta has strict regulations to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species, such as zebra and quagga mussels. * Drain Plugs: All watercraft must have their drain plugs pulled while being transported on Alberta highways. Failure to do so can result in a significant fine. * Watercraft Inspections: When highway signage indicates a watercraft inspection station is open, all watercraft (motorized and non-motorized) being transported must stop for inspection. Bypassing an open station with a watercraft is a serious violation. * Clean, Drain, Dry, and Certify: Before entering a new waterbody, you are required to clean, drain, and dry your watercraft and all water-related gear. In some areas, like Banff National Park, you may need to obtain an AIS prevention self-certification permit. * No “Boating License” for Canoes (unmotorized): You do not need a Pleasure Craft Operator Card (often referred to as a “boating license”) to operate a human-powered craft like a canoe, unless it is fitted with a motor (even an electric trolling motor). * Alcohol Consumption: Operating a boat while under the influence of alcohol or drugs is a criminal offense. Alcohol consumption is generally restricted on board unless the boat has a sleeping area, cooking facilities, or a toilet, or is docked. It’s always a good idea to consult the Transport Canada Safe Boating Guide and the Alberta.ca website for the most current and detailed information on regulations. These resources provide comprehensive lists and explanations of safety equipment and rules.
