Editor’s Note 

Dear readers, 

A wicked cold snap we’ve had with lows of -25 to-30 

in some places but not enough snow for some. It 

feels like a proper winter now but warm thoughts go 

out to those with frozen water lines or broken pipes, 

that’s not much fun. 

As many of our readers probably already know Scott 

McKenzie retired from Interior Roads in early 

<strong>Jan</strong>uary of this year. We’d like to wish Scott 

congratulations and a very happy retirement ( we 

can't imagine he'll actually be relaxing though). 

Thank you for al l the years you've worked to keep 

our roads safe, you will be missed. 

And I have to make an important correction from our 

December issue. I accidently left out long-time Gold 

Bridge Community Club member Linda Hoffman in 

the <strong>2017</strong> AGM update. Linda is the outgoing 

secretary for 2016 and is a Director at Large for 

<strong>2017</strong>. Sorry Linda ! 

The Mountain Telegraph goes 

digital 

The Mountain Telegraph is going digital! The digital 

edition will be available for $40 for 10 editions (a

Pitch-in week is ways off, April 22-29 this year, but 

it's still good to remember to keep it clean out 

there. Some residents have reported broken glass 

and debris left on our local ponds. Please pack it out 

because cleaning up in April is far too late for our 

lakes and ponds. 

Planning for Winterfest <strong>2017</strong> is in high gear, it’s 

Saturday February 11 th at Little Gun Lake, the BC 

Family Day weekend. The Gold Bridge Community

be a very good time!

SLRD Update 

BRALORNE SEWER SYSTEMS 

UPGRADE 

By SLRD - Summary of <strong>Jan</strong>uary 5, <strong>2017</strong> Community 

Meeting 

The Bralorne Wastewater Collection System Upgrade and 

Secondary Treatment project will provide sewer servicing 

to all of Bralorne’s 101 properties this summer. 

An innovative and affordable treatment process 

The system will require no electricity to operate. The 

proposed technology is a coconut husk filtration system 

that is well used in the eastern provinces. (For more 

information on the Ecoflo Coco Filter: 

http://www.premiertechaqua.com/e-news-andevents/press/2014/newly-nsf-certified-ecoflo-cocofilter.aspx) 

This choice of innovative, passive (electricity-free) 

technology meets a number of the grant’s requirements. 

The system’s operating costs are expected to be met the 

current tax requisition. The quality of treated wastewater 

this system produces meets the Ministry of Environment 

and Environment Canada’s effluent regulations, and will 

put cleaner water into Cadwallader Creek than the 

current septic tank system does. 

Design uses road rights of way - Cost of sump pumps 

and tie-ins will be covered for each property 

All services will be moved onto the Ministry of 

Transportation road rights-of way. The steepness of the 

location and the lots mean that relocation of the 

infrastructure complicates the design of the system. Some 

homes will need a small sump pump in their basement. 

The cost to install a sump will be covered under this 

project. Ongoing operations and maintenance of the sump 

will be the responsibility of the homeowner. 

The cost to tie in each lot is being covered by the project. 

Homes that require additional works other than simply 

connecting the exiting service to the new main will have 

those extra expenses paid for, following the approval of an 

estimate provided by a certified plumber. It’s not yet 

settled on whether the cost of the works will be 

reimbursed to homeowners or if the SLRD will pay the 

plumber directly. 

Interruptions in service will be minimal 

Other than the interruption in service on the day when a 

lot is tied into the new system, it is not anticipated that 

there will be service interruptions extending beyond an 

hour or two. However, because the records for the system 

are so poor, it is conceivable that some existing service 

pipes may be broken during construction and a brief 

service interruption may result – affected homeowners 

will be notified if this happens. 

Estimated timeline for completion 

Construction is expected to be completed by fall <strong>2017</strong>, 

although a contingency allows for possible delay of up to a 

year, taking into account the impact of extreme weather, 

debris flows, avalanches, forest fires, or road load 

restrictions on the short construction window. 

Better records up-front will streamline the project. 

Please help move things forward by returning your 

marked-up service record card. 

TRUE Consulting requests that homeowners mark up the 

service record card that was sent with sewage connection 

information. It will streamline the design process and the 

construction of the project, and save money, if you can 

advise us: 

-Where the service currently lies on the property and 

where it connects to the home. 

-What plumbing is currently in your basement for those 

homes being supplied with a ground level service. 

-Any other information (such as a retaining wall or buried 

oil tank that might impact your service alignment). 

Questions? 

Any questions or comments about the layout or design of 

the new system should be directed to TRUE Consulting 

(250-828-0881/spurves@true.bc.ca). Other questions 

related to funding or project timing should be directed to 

the SLRD (1-800-298-7753/jnetzel@slrd.bc.ca).

Our Valley 

The Owl and the Ermine 

By Geoff Playfair 

Order of Good Cheer 

By The Rock Wall Gallery 

Thank you all who came and enjoyed the holiday 

festivities at the Gold Bridge Community Club for the 

3 rd Order of Good Cheer event hosted by The Rock 

Wall Gallery artisans. It was a busy event starting off 

with local artisans selling their wares for holiday gift 

giving, homemade gourmet ice cream created by 

Regan, <strong>Jan</strong>e’s beautiful knitted creations, Jenny’s 

yummy snacks and lightly used wares, Ravenwood 

Healing Arts wild craft products, Lesley’s whimsical 

crochet and felting, Kat’s handmade beaded jewellery 

and BRVCA swag. 

Winter. Snow leaves a blank canvas, that the trail 

user can observe, to read the stories told on it. The 

above photo, taken by a friend a few days ago, tells 

the story of an owl, who, during the night, while 

flying low through the forest, caught sight, in the 

near darkness, of an ermine, bobbing through the 

snow. 

His picture shows the ermines tracks, terminated by 

the owl. The owl left only the marks of their wingtips, 

the ermine will make no more tracks. 

On your next trip out on the trails, take the time to 

observe the tracks around you. Rabbits, fishers, mice, 

squirrels, deer, moose, bobcats, cougars and wolves, 

as well as others, are all active in the winter forest. 

Their signatures remain, until the next snowfall, on 

the white canvas that surrounds us. 

Get out on your favorite trail, and read the story 

written on the path. 

This year’s donation collected for the “cheer” in the 

order (homemade Bailey’s!) was collected for the 

Lillooet food bank with over $103 going to help those 

in need over the holidays. A huge, diverse potluck 

was hosted with amazing food from pepperoni pizza, 

cheesy mac’n’cheese, slow roasted bear roast, baked 

beans, smoked ham…everything was delicious with 

many good laughs, shared stories and visiting with 

neighbours. Jim did a wonderful job manning the 

bonfire where I am sure many engaging stories were 

shared under a beautiful cold starry night. 

This year had a special twist with a movie viewing of 

“Hadwin’s Judgement” based on the book The Golden 

Spruce. Scott McKenzie and Tom Illidge both played 

a key part of the story as a narrative and a 

connection to this local legend whose emotional 

turmoil and conflicts with logging mirrors many of 

our concerns today. 

A huge thank you for Sal who kept the Christmas 

tunes going as well as being our movie projectionist! 

From the artisans, wishing you a happy New Year 

and thank you for your continued support and 

interest in The Rock Wall Gallery.

BCAC Update 

By Roger Geeves 

The Bralorne Community Advisory Committee 

(BCAC) and BRVCA recently requested a professional 

opinion of the state the community hall to determine 

how to move forward with structural 

improvements. Unfortunately, there are hazardous 

material issues related to high levels of lead paint, 

asbestos contamination, and rodent feces and urine. 

To protect the public we are forced to close all access 

to the hall until these issues are remediated. 

You can view the entire environmental report 

at www.brvca.ca/committees/bcac. Click on link 

for Important Documents. 

If you’d like to receive updates on the status of the 

hall or any other vital Bralorne-related information 

please e-mail bralornebcac@gmail.com with your 

name, street address, telephone number, and email 

address. 

If you have any concerns or questions, please email 

BCAC at bralornebcac@gmail.com. 

The Committee brainstormed courses and is seeking 

input from the community via a Survey Monkey to 

see what level of interest there is in the courses listed 

in the Survey and any other courses that could be put 

on in <strong>2017</strong> or in the future. Once the survey results 

are in the Training Committee will review the 

outcomes and finalize the training for the year. 

Survey link: 

https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/PRSVLP8 

If you don’t have internet access you can drop into 

the Community Resource Building and complete the 

survey there. 

Important Note: This Training Initiative is for Bridge 

River Valley residents, property owners and families. 

Some courses or workshops may be open to the 

general public. A number of the courses will be free 

but some may require participants to pay a portion 

or all of it depending on funding availability and or 

interest level. This initiative has been and will be 

funded via the SLRD Area A Grant in Aide program. 

Thank you for taking part in this survey and 

supporting the training provided in the past.

Invasive Mussels Move Closer 

to BC Borders 

by Jacquie Rasmussen, P. Ag- LRISS 

BC Partners Meeting: With invasive mussels closer to BC, 

there is a clear need for immediate action. This meeting 

will review what worked in 2016 and suggest what more 

is needed to avoid invasive mussels arriving in BC. 

Over 50 people participated in these meetings and 

recommendations were developed based on the calls to 

action. 

There were recommendations as a result of both 

meetings. The BC Partner recommendations are 

summarized generally below: 

• -A call for the Provincial and Federal Governments work 

together to ensure 100% of high-risk watercraft entering 

BC are inspected. 

• -Review and update regulatory tools to enable invasive 

mussels to trigger an environmental emergency. 

• -Host an emergency response scenario with partners to 

rehearse a response and identify gaps. 

• -Establish a monitoring and sampling plan for water 

On November 30, 2016, the Governor for Montana 

declared a state of emergency for Montana's water bodies 

because invasive mussel larvae had been detected in the • 

bodies in BC that includes Government and nongovernment 

organizations. 

-Increase voluntary compliance-certification of boaters 

Tiber and Canyon Ferry Reservoirs. An Incident and fresh water users. 

Command Team was set up for this emergency and has • 

been working on the situation. As the crow flies, this

of invasive mussels on salmon and salmon fishery. 

means that mussels have been found 50 miles from the • -Review regulatory framework to consider boat 

Columbia River watershed that flows from Alberta into BC registration on BC waters. 

and Washington. 

• -Increase funding support. 

Two, back to back, emergency meetings were held on 

December 9 th to inform BC partners about the situation in 

Montana and to discuss plans for the western provinces 

and US states. It was co-hosted by the Pacific Northwest 

Economic region (pnwer.org), the Invasive Species 

Council of BC and the Alberta Invasive Species Council. 

Each meeting had a call to action as a response to the 

Montana situation: 

Western Canada Meeting: With invasive mussels closer to 

Western Canada, there is a clear call for increased 

diligence on prevention and readiness for immediate 

response. This meeting will review what worked in 2016 

and what more is needed to avoid invasive mussels 

arriving in Western Canada. 

LRISS is keeping abreast of the Montana situation as well 

as the Provincial response. We are on email lists for 

updates from Montana and BC. The LRISS Board will also 

be discussion our Aquatics program in the coming months 

and how we can continue to do our part to prevent 

Aquatic Invasive Species from establishing in our region 

and BC. Our partnerships with the Bridge River 

Community Association and the SLRD are key to our 

outreach and prevention program. If invasive mussels 

invade our waters, there would be millions of dollars of 

impacts to our environment and economy, namely 

tourism and Hydro infrastructure.

Valley Recipes 

Kimchi Vegetable Soup 

By Jenny James 

This is an excellent soup to clean out the fridge. 

Kimchi really makes this soup but if you can't find it 

you can substitute jalapeños, Sambal Olek or 

cayenne, just use whatever heat you have and add 

some extra vinegar. And substitute any veggies too 

like turnip, cauliflower or frozen peas, it's all good. 

This doesn't even really need to be recipe but it's 

worth sharing because the kimchi thing is just really 

good. 

Saute onions, celery, carrot and yams for 4-5 

minutes in oil, add garlic and cook until 

fragrant. Add remaining veggies, tomatoes, kimchi 

and stock. Simmer on low 30-45 minutes and add 

cilantro, vinegar and season with salt and pepper 

Simmer for 15-20 minutes more and adjust 

seasoning. 

I sometimes cook this for 2 hours, there is just 

something about well cooked (ahem, overcooked) 

vegetables in a spicy broth that is amazing.

Oil Tank removal 

By BRVCA 

By Sal DeMare 

The LRTAC held its first meeting on November the 29 th . 

It was a meeting for the Committee members to meet 

and get a general feel of the Committee’s future 

direction. The next meeting will be held in February 

and will incorporate a 2 year Strategic Plan. I will be 

facilitating the Strategic Plan. Since the Committee 

members will be from across the Region a lot of the 

work will be done online to get it to the point where 

when we meet it will be to finalize on the details on the 

Committee Purpose, Terms of Reference, Goals, and 

Action Plans for the next two years. Once developed 

they will be shared via the BRVCA media sources. 

Winter Driving Safety Tips: 

Drop your speed to match road conditions. No matter 

how much driving experience you have, the way your 

vehicle will move on snow or ice is unpredictable. The 

posted speed is the maximum speed for ideal 

conditions. In winter, it’s safer to drive below the 

posted speed limit. 

The Community Resource Building and the Bralorne 

Church will have its underground oil tanks 

environmentally taken out of service this spring. Do 

you have an oil tank that you wish to do same with 

and would like to share costs where possible of 

bringing the company in? If so, let us know 

at bridgerivervalley@gmail.com or give us a call. 

Carry an emergency survival kit with non-perishable 

food, blankets and first aid supplies, windshield scraper 

and snow brush, extra windshield washer fluid, fuel 

line antifreeze, flares and matches or lighter, tire chains 

and gloves, shovel and traction mat, sand or kitty litter, 

flashlight and extra batteries, battery jumper cables, 

spare tire wheel wrench and jack, extra clothing and 

footwear and sandbags for extra weight.

Foragers Corner 

Creating Space 

By Jennifer Keir - Ravenwood Healing Arts 

This is the time of year that I find myself journeying 

inwards, a time of self- evaluation, reflection, to allow 

some space into my normally hectic life to discover, 

in the quiet that I have possibly become complacent 

in areas of my life, lacking creative inspiration, 

motivation, missing connections or the loss of dream 

time. It is here that I can often fall into a place of 

anxiety and depression but I am determined to find 

the light and reach for goals that have been eluding 

me over the course of the year.Being present! In my 

whirl of ideas and inspirations, multiple ‘hats’, 

shifting from one job to the next, I often find myself 

holding my breath, literally. My shoulders are up 

around my ears, I don’t remember tasting my 

breakfast, I forgot my tea on the counter, I am clumsy 

during my day as I am not mindful or present, 

constantly trying to think 10 steps ahead of my day. 

Right now, I am trying to make the practice of 

breathe, sitting and drinking my tea at the window, 

observing the beginnings of a new day, honouring 

the food on my plate, slowing down as I prepare a 

meal and remembering to taste. (This includes not 

guzzling my wine!) To savor, not just food, but life. 

mindfulness, stretching, meditation…whatever I need 

that day to reconnect to my inner life. 

Creating goals, even small ones! So often months spin 

by and I have been simply focusing on day to day 

with no clear focus on how to reach long term goals. 

It is my intention over the next few weeks to create a 

series of goals broken down into manageable steps to 

help me clarify what truely are my inspirations and 

dreams and to create a map to find my way there. 

Self-care. This is a huge one for me; for many of us. I 

want to create space in each and every day to care, 

nurture and celebrate who I am. I struggle with this 

so much, I find it awkward to even delve into the idea 

of self care, so I am going to start in little ways. 

Watching my self talk is a big one, how often we 

belittle or berate ourselves for the small things that 

go wrong in the day as oppose to providing empathy 

and support as we would to a good friend. Adding 

small rituals to the day such as a cup of herbal tea 

that can calm and nourish instead of reaching for a 

beer, substituting a walk along the river to recharge 

as oppose to a ‘sugar’ rush, sitting quietly to sort out 

my thoughts before reacting to the changes in my 

day. 

I hope whatever you are working through, you find 

your happiness and create new ways to embrace love 

and abundance into your life. 

Blessings for a new cycle, <strong>2017</strong>! 

I am making a commitment to myself to allow 20 

minutes a day for journaling, creative play,

Gun Lake Fire gets a truck for 

Christmas 

By Al Leighton, Fire Chief 

Trails Committee <strong>2017</strong> 

By Geoff Playfair 

With <strong>2017</strong> underway, the Trail Committee is looking 

forward to a busy year, continuing with its main 

project of working toward registering 50 plus trails 

within the valley drainage. 

This project is 2.5 years old, and will take more years 

to complete, but much work is done, and at this 

point, key stakeholders are at the table and working 

towards mutually beneficial solution. 

Photo: Al Leighton 

Happy New Year! GLFPS is happy to announce the 

acquisition of an important piece of fire 

equipment. This truck was a Wildland fire vehicle 

and came with some excellent features. #1 - an 18 

horse independent pump system that can be used 

even if the vehicle is in motion, as well as a Foampro 

foam injection system giving us full foam 

capabilities. 

So, while the truck is basically bare, we have a great 

start on what should be a valuable asset to Gun Lake 

Fire. 

TrailForks, the user-input built webpage, now has a 

108 trails listed in our valley, with user posted trail 

reports, photos and videos, all vetted by the 

Committee. 

Active logging is again planned in the valley, 

particularly in the Gun and Tyaughton Lake areas, 

and your Committee has been at work to help ensure 

the logging resects the trail network that exists, for 

the benefit of local users and our visitors, who are an 

important component of our local economy. 

BC Parks is increasing it’s budget this year, which 

may have some positive benefits in local Provincial 

Parks. In South Chilcotin Mountains Park, trail 

mapping is being done, and trailhead facilities being 

considered, as part of a general Park Plan. We hope 

to hear more on this, later in the year. 

The Committee is supportive of local Biologist Robin 

Naidoo’s application to do some animal studies 

within the valley, which may also inform on the 

impact of trails in the area. 

All in all, another busy year!
