Would your acreage benefit from soil amendment?<br />
Mercer Celgar is looking for landowners with 2 or more acres within 55 km<br />
that would benefit from using their Celgrow soil amendment. Pastures and<br />
hay fields are good options.<br />
Mercer Celgar will cover the costs of a Qualified Professional performing<br />
soil sampling, obtaining government authorization and delivery costs of Celgrow<br />
soil amendment based on access with a large truck/pup combination.<br />
Acreage should be able to accommodate at least 6 truck/pup loads. The two<br />
major components of Celgrow are individual wood fibres lost from the pulping<br />
process and surplus bacteria from the wastewater biological treatment<br />
facility. Wood fibres enhance soil moisture retention and bacteria are a good<br />
source of soil nutrients. The landowner is responsible for spreading and incorporating<br />
Celgrow into their soil.<br />

Open burning allowed<br />
Effective <strong>June</strong> 18, 2020, the following amendments have<br />
been made to both Category 2 and Category 3 open burning<br />
prohibitions within the Southeast Fire Centre’s jurisdiction.<br />
Given consideration to weather patterns and time of year,<br />
the BCWS has identified a brief window to temporarily allow<br />
category 2 open burning throughout the entire Southeast Fire<br />
Centre and category 3 open burning to be allowed in specified<br />
areas.<br />
Category 2 open burning will be temporarily allowed<br />
throughout the Southeast Fire Centre’s jurisdiction. Category<br />
2 open burns include:<br />
• one or two concurrently burning piles no larger than two<br />
metres high by three metres wide;<br />
• stubble or grass burning over an area of less than 0.2 hectares<br />
in size;<br />
• the use of fireworks;<br />
• burn barrels and burn cages;<br />
• sky lanterns; and<br />
• exploding binary targets;<br />
Reminders About Category 2 Open Burning:<br />
Anyone planning to conduct category 2 open burning,<br />
should always check the ventilation index, follow the open<br />
burning smoke control regulations and practice safe burning.<br />
Create a fireguard around the planned fire site by clearing<br />
away twigs, grass, leaves and other combustible material.<br />
Have an adequate source of pressurized water on hand. Never<br />
leave a fire unattended and make sure the fire is fully extinguished<br />
with ashes cold to the touch before leaving the area<br />
for any length of time.<br />

a burn registration number ahead of time by calling 1 888<br />

More locally-raised meat<br />
will be available in the<br />
Kootenays<br />
New Democrat MLA Michelle Mungall says that more people<br />
will have access to locally-raised meat in the Kootenays<br />
thanks to changes made by the province.<br />
The updated Meat Inspection Regulation now allows Class<br />
D licences in Electoral Area D of the Regional District of<br />
Central Kootenay, as well as areas of the Alberni Valley and<br />
the Fraser-Fort George region, and encourages the growing<br />
“farm-to-fork” trend in many BC communities. Class D<br />
licence holders are permitted to conduct the on-farm slaughter<br />
of up to 25 animal units for direct sale to consumers or<br />
retail outlets like restaurants and meat shops in the region<br />
where the meat was slaughtered.<br />
