September 4, 2020

The trans mountain pipeline got its September allotment this week. The pipeline will be running at full capasity for September.

What is pipeline ‘apportionment’ and why is it important?

The energy sector around the world works on a monthly cycle. The Trans Mountain Pipeline is part of that cycle. Apportionment describes the amount of demand shippers place on the pipeline in excess of its available capacity. Here’s a step-by-step guide to the apportionment determination that’s carried out every month for the existing Trans Mountain Pipeline system.

Trans Mountain is taxpayer owned..

The pipeline is currently under expansion and doubling its ability to carry, as well as storage in Burnaby.

Revenues go into the company and the government can take dividends.

The crisis in public health ad stopped oil flow last spring and caused crude price to go below zero . The supplies of crude in the US had been falling at a rate of around 5 million barrels a week during the summer. Light sweet crude prices are just under 40 dollars US today down 4.5 percent.

The province is offering money to local governments for active transportation.

A new Active Transportation Planning program was launched this week. Local governments with populations up to 25,000 can now submit applications. The goal of the program is to support local governments to incorporate or enhance active transportation components of formal planning documents, including research, consultation, and policy development.

Local governments with a population up to 25,000 that meet the grant criteria are eligible for up to $10,000 toward their active transportation planning costs.

The program is funded by the Ministry of Transportation & Infrastructure and is administered by UBCM. For more information, contact lgps@ubcm.ca or 250 356-5193

How to make your own luck…

Stay focused, distractions cause mistakes , mistakes take time to correct so keep your eye on the proverbial ball.

Be optimistic ” its an ill wind that blows no one some good “! Look for the good in trouble and be on the right end of the good part.

There is no end to your work , no arrival, it all begins again in some way so don’t waste time on giving up.

See your self as a success! If you don’t , who will? …

Be kind ,every where, harsh works come back at some time ” every dog gets its day”!

There is a call for submissions for an art show at the Merritt Olde Courthouse Gallery for memorial art.

Calling NVCAC Artists for September Show

“MEMORIES and MANDALAS”

For those that have passed.

Commemorating our Nicola Valley Artists Who Have Passed
I lost my partner of over 30 years,Gordon Cockle, in January of this year. Although he was very well known in the community for his writings in the 90’s for the Merritt Herald and his own coffee paper, The Merritt Morning Mirror, there are lots of people who aren’t aware that he passed away. And many people who don’t know his creative work.

Gordon Cockle passed reporter for the local paper….

A legacy of art is being requested… Show is September 4th to 26th 2020/.
