From mid-November to March, the city has at least one employee on duty 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The number of employees involved in snow removal is dependent on the amount and duration of snowfall. Snow removal priorities City streets are maintained on a priority basis as follows: #1 Priority - Major collectors and emergency routes, i.e. Hospital Hill, Warfield Hill Road (from Warfield Teck Operations to Highway 22), Fifth Avenue Hill, and hills with extreme gradients and significant volume, i.e. Green Avenue. #2 Priority - Bus routes. #3 Priority - Downtown core, including downtown parking lots and the Trail & Leisure Aquatic Centre. #4 Priority - Hills with lighter traffic volumes, i.e. Lilac Crescent, Park Street. #5 Priority - All remaining residential streets and parking lots. When all 5 priorities have been accomplished, lanes will be plowed and all other streets will be widened. City-owned sidewalks, including the Victoria Street Bridge sidewalk and the Columbia River Skywalk, will be cleared following heavy snowfall. In general, sand is not used on level streets except when extreme icing conditions are experienced. Snow removal in the downtown area is undertaken after a heavy snowfall – this is normally done in the evening hours. Other designated business areas will be cleared as required. The city plow trucks plow with the traffic flow. Snow is cleared from the centre of the road to the right curb side. The city will not clear snow windrows from any private driveway. HOW CAN YOU HELP? • Remove all unused vehicles, boats, trailers, etc. from the streets from November to March. • Ensure that any vehicles required A GOOD Do you SLEEP have Sleep IS ESSENTIAL Apnea?

Native plants reintroduced The Snk’mip Marsh Santuary is a 17.4 hectare wetland located at the north end of Slocan Lake. The wetland is a vital aquatic and riparian ecosystem because it is an important stopover for migrating birds, it is home to many species at risk, it is important for water filtration and flood control, and it acts as a carbon sink. After many years of industrial use, the site was purchased by Valhalla Foundation for Ecology in 2017. They have been working to return the site to its previous state as a healthy wetland. Snk’mip is on Sinixt territory (Snk’mip is the Sinixt word for “head of the lake”). Therefore, consultation with a local Sinixt spokesperson has influenced the list of species planted. Notably, beaked hazelnut (Corylus cornuta) is a food which is traditionally harvested in this area. Many different native species were planted by community volunteers and Lucerne School students at Snk’mip this fall. Biologists recommended species that would benefit wildlife at Snk’mip. Red-osier dogwood (Cornus stolonifera) was chosen as it provides food for moose and deer. The dogwood flowers feed beneficial pollinators and grouse like to eat the berries. The low, dense growth creates shady hiding places for reptiles and amphibians. Wetland restoration experts were also consulted. Black cottonwood (Populus balsamifera) was selected for its fast growth, this will help to quickly stabilize the soil and create shade. Mature cottonwoods create great wildlife trees which can benefit birds, insects and bats. Central Kootenay Invasive Species Society Game of groans Outdoor learning is still the best way to achieve social distancing, AND a whole host of other social, mental, and academic outcomes for your students, so don’t let winter curb your enthusiasm for outdoor learning.
