Update
Revelstoke leading Merritt in Merritt 2-1.early on…
Harry Sanders, was bit of a legend about Merritt. We remember him as hosting the social credit party at his home in lower Nicola for their AGM’s. But Harry was a contractor with equipment. Lots of male sons. And a penchant for opportunities. One of them he saw at one point was an ability to bridge a small Creek or area and a temporary but more permanent way that would be easy in and easy out without much damage so as to protect the environment and also to expedite doing work in the forests and streams.
By cutting apart large pieces of pipeline pipe, and that was in surplus. He managed to make a small portable bridge, he could cross a stream with a similarly to the Roman concept of using Stone arches for their bridging. The value of these is self-evident.
So I don’t know how many prototypes he made but this one was in the industrial area sitting for numbers of years. So I took a picture of it as I went by knowing Harry or more to the point I knew his sons. I know more of Harry than I did him.
But darn and be gosh if he didn’t, long past his departure from this life. The legacy in that piece was laying. There and now seems to have been revived as some very nice advertising is online about enviro bridge and some of them are being sold and being manufactured again here in Merritt British Columbia.
Selina Carl will be presenting on the situation in the Okanagan river system in central British Columbia for the Chinook salmon juveniles.

This Beaver Moon in development for November 5th. Fullness has a blue tinge on it we suspect it may be coming from its proximity to Saturn as we have in our attempts to get photos of it, had a blue 💙 hue below and to the right of center of the Moon.

Is there a strike in BC now.
As of now, several labor unions in British Columbia are engaging in strike actions to advocate for better working conditions, wages, and negotiations with employers. One notable example is the BC General Employees’ Union (BCGEU), which has been actively participating in job actions across various sectors, including local government.
Members of the BCGEU have been seen demonstrating in notable locations, such as the Railyard Mall, where they conducted picketing and showcased negotiation tactics aimed at raising awareness about their demands.
The primary objectives of these strikes often include:
Such strikes can lead to temporary disruptions in services provided by the affected sectors and often draw attention to the broader issues faced by workers. It is essential for the community to understand these actions as a part of ongoing efforts to achieve fair labor practices.
For more visual insights, you can check out this video showcasing recent BCGEU activities.
The situation continues to evolve, and it is important for both employees and employers to engage in constructive dialogue to reach a mutually beneficial resolution. Stay tuned for updates on the progress of these necessary discussions.
