he Building and Code Staff Appreciation Day is celebrated every 1st of September each year. This day focuses on showing love and appreciation to people who dedicate their time in making buildings secure and up to code. They work hard to make sure that all of us are safe in our respective buildings, regardless of how high they are. They also make a lot of sacrifices to keep us safe. Hence, to pay them forward to all these sacrifices that they do, we celebrate the Building and Code Staff Appreciation Day each year.

Saturday night here in Merritt was a windy one, as shown by copper plates missing from the dome of the historic Coldwater Hotel. The AW also had some signage in the Nicola River on Sunday AM.

Wind speed is measured in kilopascal and they make a difference to local building codes as well as insurance policies.

A station is at Kelowna ,its been operating since 1953, A-1123970 at 49.95 degrees north by 119.38 east at 430 meters.

 Editors note:Enviroment Canada put a station here last year on a site that came available by a new water well for the city on land purchased from a ranch of Nicola Avenue. the well was part of the BC Canada infrastructure program.
