TGIF Salmon return

Have a great weekend!

The Nicola River this morning has returning salmon in it.The river level its self was noticeably managed this year with what seemed to be higher water levels and silt for some time. However today the returning salmon are quite visible  off of Voght street next to The Rotary Park turn coming into Merritt from the North on highway 5A.

A number of species run in the fall we generally expect Sockeye.

There was a city worker hat brought 8 tables into the old chamber office at 2158 B Voght Street for the polling place for the by-election. The city said it had to spend the same for the by election as for the general,$15000.00 however we think that the small office indicates that the general elections accounting may not have taken in regular city workers costs.
