Powwow

This morning there is about three hundred people in the front field of Merritt Secondary School. Starting with a Grand procession a colorful procession of First Nations people are advancing about the field in the direction of a white teepee tent on the eastern side of the field. Flags , feathers and scarlet coated Mounties are followed up by children of first nations decent.

A young women getting into a jingle dancers dress to take part said it is a first annual and is linked to the school district.

The high school also has a pit house reconstruction at the rear of the school.

Blue box

A source in the City thinks that they will be distributing the Blue box  recycle garbage cans that complement the  gray lidded plastic cans for garbage in April or May. The cans have been siting in a pile at the city works yard waiting for  the go ahead from the powers. The same truck is divided into sides one for recycle another for garbage. A mechanical  hydraulic arm picks them up and dumps them into a compression chamber and returns them to the curb. This is worker friendly taking a lot of the risk of injury away from the one man handler.

Water sewer and garbage rates are being separated from the property tax levy on the billing  from City hall this year.
