So, here is a photo of the BC Hydro quick chargers on Voght and Merritt Avenue in Merritt BC.
Success
Standing to attention like a couple of Royal guards as the snow blankets them this week. They look like they’re satisfied for some reason if that’s possible with an innate objects.
Net 30 the cry the response was hard won material support, and over time BC Hydro has done well in proportional advacacy to the cause.
All and all the little bit of snow at the right time in the right season makes our hearts go soft for all the right reasons. Being a responsible person in this world includes the environment and work and providing and numbers of things; so have a great season and don’t let the little things bite you.
A thought worth reposting…
Looking forward to New Year’s in and bright future for all.
A heavy dump truck parked several nights, overnight, next to the BC hydro quick charging station, Voght Street and Merritt avenue, Merritt BC. Merritt is a small community and one of the members of the Thompson Nicola regional district government.
Construction and heavy infrastructure work in the Thompson-Nicola Regional District (TNRD) and the City of Merritt are currently driven by two primary forces: recovery from the 2021 atmospheric river and long-term climate resiliency planning.While residential “spec” home construction has slowed due to market pressures, public infrastructure spending remains at historic levels.🏗️
The TNRD’s construction landscape is currently dominated by large-scale utility and healthcare projects. * 2025 Capital Plan: The district has allocated $24.99 million for capital project costs in 2025. * Key Projects: * Pritchard Water & Wastewater: Significant upgrades to the community water and sewer systems.
The Thompson Regional Hospital District (TRHD) is preparing for the Kamloops Cancer Centre construction, with a 2025 tax requisition of $18.1 million specifically earmarked for RIH enhancements. * Emergency Services: Construction of a new Monte Creek Firehall and several fire rescue vehicle garages (Blackpool, Little Fort).
Construction and demolition waste accounts for 24% of the TNRD waste stream, leading to new 2025 initiatives (C&D Toolkit) to help builders manage costs through better sorting of wood, metal, and concrete.🛣️ City of Merritt:
Merritt’s focus is almost entirely on “heavy construction”—specifically flood mitigation and road reinstatement. The city plans to invest up to $48.7 million in capital projects over the next five years.Major Infrastructure Projects (2025–2026)
A massive flood defense initiative. Construction is set to begin in July 2025 and run through December 2025. * Highway 8 Rebuild: Permanent repairs on the highway between Merritt and Spences Bridge are ongoing. Staggered construction on sites 1–8 and 20–22 began in late 2024/early 2025, with completion slated for Winter 2027.
The East Merritt Utility Corridor is a major multi-year project with over $2.5 million in projected spending for 2025–2026.Roadwork & Overlays| Project | Estimated Cost | Timing ||—|—|—|| Airport Road Overlay | $600,000 | 2025/2026 || Houston Overlay (Bridge to Midday Valley) | $500,000 | 2025/2026 || River Ranch Rd (Mill & Inlay) | $365,000 | 2027 || Crawford Ave & Airport Rd Intersection | Active Maintenance | Late 2025
In contrast to the heavy infrastructure boom, private residential construction has seen a shift: * Shift to Multi-Family: In the broader region, single-family home starts have dropped because “spec homes” at the $1.1 million price point are struggling to find buyers. Multi-family units and secondary suites (mortgage helpers) are now the primary drivers of residential permits.
The City of Merritt is updating its Development Cost Charges
(DCCs) for 2026. This will shift more of the infrastructure cost burden onto developers to ensure growth-related water and road upgrades are funded.Would you like me to look up specific tender opportunities or contact details for the engineering departments in Merritt or the TNRD?

For review, yeah this will give you a perspective on a bee’s life in a bad time of life. And the femaleness of the hive.
The the male or drone servitude to honey, bee reproduction, maintaining a hive; you will never feel that you were hard done by if you were ever let go from something again.
It is a bad movie in one sense; you figure it out.
Editors note: Merritt Venue
We recognize some of the landscape roads and building as being shot about Merritt BC.
Bee kind to one another.
There is something bizarre about this presentation will it ever come out?

The Nordic Irish Celtic residency songs, often rooted in ancient traditions, are a tapestry of musical expressions that date back to the early medieval period, showcasing a rich cultural heritage. These songs typically discuss themes of nature, community, and spirituality, reflecting the values of the society that created them. They serve to strengthen communal bonds, celebrate local history, and convey moral lessons, often performed during seasonal festivities or significant life events. Their enduring nature highlights their importance in preserving cultural identity and fostering a sense of belonging among the people.
So Vancouver has a film legacy, some experience, some schools, and some appetite.

Have a great season, be good to retailers make them feel that they are the reason for the season your season happen.
The holidays provide a unique opportunity for families to come together and strengthen their bonds. Here are some reasons why this season is particularly beneficial for family life:
During the holidays, many families take time off from their regular schedules, allowing for uninterrupted moments to connect, share meals, and engage in activities that everyone enjoys.
Holidays often come with established traditions that families can enjoy together, whether it’s decorating the home, baking festive treats, or participating in community events. These shared experiences create lasting memories and a sense of belonging.
The end of the year encourages families to reflect on their experiences, achievements, and challenges, fostering open communication and appreciation for one another.
Holiday seasons often inspire acts of kindness and generosity. Families can engage in charitable activities together, teaching children the importance of giving back and building empathy.
Celebrating holidays can help instill a sense of security and comfort in family life. The familiar sounds, sights, and smells of the season often evoke feelings of warmth and safety.
The holiday spirit can help mend strained relationships within families. Being together during festive times can provide chances for forgiveness, understanding, and reconciliation.
Families often engage in creative activities during the holidays, such as crafting decorations or preparing unique gifts. This enhances family ties by working together towards a common goal.
For families who celebrate different holidays, this time of year offers a chance to learn and appreciate various cultural practices, encouraging diversity and inclusion.
In conclusion, the holiday season is not only a time for celebration but also a crucial period for nurturing family connections and creating cherished memories.
