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

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