Sept 24, Pennywise – Nelson, Salmo

cont’d from pg 40
to trim your trees, especially those close to the house,
garage or shed.
Clear old plants and weeds from your garden bed or
pots to make it easier for spring planting and keep insects
at bay. If not using winterized pots, bring them indoors.
Clear leaves from the lawn, aerate and consider a fall
fertilizing.
Decks and garden furniture will need a good cleaning
and, if appropriate, staining. Don’t forget to properly store
cushions and outdoor tablecloths so that they can be used
again next season. Garden tools also need a good cleaning
or wipe down before storing for the winter.
Moving Inside: Plan and prepare before you start. Make
sure you have reusable boxes and bags on hand and create
some storage space indoors or out. If outside, make sure
the space is sheltered. Organize room by room. When
swapping out seasonal clothes in your closet, take some
time to make sure you still need or use each item. If not,
recycle or donate it.
Keep in mind that you can donate unwanted clothing,
textiles and small household items, such as small garden
tools, instead of throwing them out. Charitable organizations
are always looking for donations.

Test Internet connectivity
performance!
Residents in the Columbia Basin and Boundary regions
are being urged to try out a new online testing portal
which is designed to measure Internet connection speeds.
“The Regional Broadband Committee has been working
to get a better understanding of current broadband services
and to advocate for high-speed Internet for residents
and businesses within the Columbia Basin and Boundary
regions,” explains Regional Broadband Committee Chair
Rob Gay. “This online portal will provide us with specific
data and give us a much clearer picture of the true state of
our current connectivity.”
Residents can access the testing portal and run the performance
test as many times as they would like and the
Committee is hoping to see strong participation. “The
more data we collect, the greater our understanding will
be. We are hoping to see people from every geographic
corner of the region participate,” says Gay.
The data will not only be helpful in providing the Committee
with valuable data, it will also help to prioritize
areas of need and be useful in determining eligibility for
federal and provincial connectivity granting programs.
Although there has been some work done to identify the
state of connectivity in rural regions such as ours, to date
there is a shortage of accurate and quantifiable data. “This
performance test will help us close that data gap and we
strongly encourage residents to log in at least once,” adds
Gay.
The online portal can be accessed at https://performance.cira.ca/columbiabasin
Participants provide their
location and hit start. The test takes less than two minutes
to run.
The Regional Broadband Committee was established in
2014 and includes elected officials from Columbia Shuswap
Regional District, Ktunaxa Nation Council, Regional
District of Central Kootenay, Regional District of East
Kootenay, Regional District of Kootenay Boundary and
Village of Valemount.
