Local mountain lakes 

get new fish 

Each year, in consultation with provincial fisheries managers, 

the Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC stocks more than 

800 lakes and rivers throughout BC. And while the Freshwater 

Fisheries Society has only been stocking BC’s waterbodies since 

2003, their records include data for all historical releases. 

Their six hatcheries raise and release rainbow trout, cutthroat 

trout, eastern brook char, kokanee, and steelhead for recreational 

fisheries and white sturgeon and lake char for conservation 

purposes. 

While all fish share traits common to the species, there are 

often significant differences between regional populations or 

strains. These unique traits are the result of the individual populations 

adapting to the specific conditions associated with their 

local habitat, community and available resources. 

Lakes in the local area that were stocked this October include: 

• Greyhorse Lake #1, Meadow Creek. Stocked with 1,000 

Pennask Lake rainbow trout 

• Milford Lake, Shutty Bench. Stocked with 1,000 Pennask 

rainbow trout 

• Barrett Lake, near Nelson. Stocked with 2,000 Pennask 

Lake rainbow trout 

Pennask Lake lies within the Upper Spahomin watershed, 

approximately 50 km east of Merritt on the Thompson Plateau. 

Although the lake has low productivity, it has always maintained 

a large monoculture (single-species) population of small 

rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). A permanent egg-collection 

station has operated on Pennask Creek, the major inlet 

stream, since 1927. 

Within any lake, the Pennask strain is pelagic, preferring deep 

open water. Another key trait of Pennask Lake rainbow is their 

exceptional ability to conserve body fat. This allows them to 

survive long winters, and makes them ideal for stocking cold, 

high-elevation lakes. 

Pennask Lake rainbow trout in are generally small at maturity. 

However, when stocked into productive monoculture lakes, 

they grow well and reach a much larger size before maturity. 

Typical for Interior trout, these fish are lightly spotted on the 

body, mostly along the back and tail. 

Most active at dusk, Pennask rainbow are mid-water foragers 

that feed primarily on benthic (bottom) organisms like chironomid 

pupae or cladocerans (water fleas). The trout are not highly 

piscivorous (fish-eating), and show no evidence of preying on 

non-salmonid fish until they are at least two years old. Pennask 

rainbow trout have a reputation for being very aggressive, and 

are world-renowned for their fighting ability and tendency to 

jump when hooked. And, because this strain focusses on invertebrate 

prey, experienced fly-fishers often prefer the Pennask 

rainbows to other strains of stocked rainbows.

RDCK board highlights 

Aimee Watson and Walter Popoff Acclaimed as chair and 

vice-chair of the RDCK board of directors 

The RDCK board acclaimed Area D Director Aimee Watson 

as the chair of the board of directors for 2021, while Area H 

Director Walter Popoff was acclaimed as the vice-chair. Watson, 

who has served as RDCK Area D director since 2014, enters 

her third term as chair. Director Popoff has served as Area H 

director since 2008. This marks his second term as vice-chair. 

The board chair and vice-chair are elected annually by the board 

of directors and serve a one-year term. 

The Board is pleased to welcome Jen Comer as the newly 

appointed RDCK director for the Town of Creston. Director 

Comer replaces Ron Toyota. Town of Creston Councillor Jim 

Elford has been appointed as the alternate RDCK board director. 

COVID-19 Safe Restart Grants for Local Governments 

The RDCK has received $760,000 from the Province of BC as 

part of the COVID-19 Safe Restart Grants for Local Governments. 

The funding is intended to support local governments as they deal 

with increased operating costs and lower revenues due to COVID- 

19. Eligible costs include addressing COVID – related revenue 

shortfalls, facility reopening and operating costs, emergency planning 

and response costs, and services for vulnerable persons. 

The board will decide where the funds will go based on recommendations 

by RDCK staff. All funds must be allocated by 

December 31, 2021. 

RDCK Adopts Anti-Racial Discrimination and Anti-Racism 

Policy 

The Board adopted the Anti-Racial Discrimination and 

Anti-Racism Policy. The policy demonstrates the RDCK’s 

commitment to conducting the day to day operations and 

governance in an anti-discriminatory and anti-racist manner 

and environment. The policy is a public commitment that the 

RDCK will make best efforts to ensure that all who work and 

interact with the RDCK are able to do so in an environment and 

manner free of racism and racial discrimination. 

RDCK Board Adopts Step Code 1 of the BC Energy Step Code 

The board adopted Step Code 1 of the BC Energy Step Code 

effective December 31, 2020, which applies to new builds not renovations. 

The BC Energy Step Code is a performance based standard 

developed as a multi-year collaboration between BC local government 

representatives, industry, utilities, and the province to achieve 

local and provincial goals of reaching a zero carbon economy. It 

focuses on the performance of the building with an envelope first 

approach. The idea is to build an efficient building and further supplement 

its efficiencies with internal systems. 

There are five steps as part of the BC Energy Step Code which 

represents continual monitoring and improvement of new 

homes built within the region. With each home built to a higher 

energy performance, lifetime energy use of the home is reduced 

from between 10% (Step 2) to 80% (Step 5) compared to a home 

built to the current standard BC Building code, thus reducing 

greenhouse gases. By adopting Step 1 now, this will help builders 

and building officials in the RDCK prepare to jump to Step 3 

when it is mandated by the Province of BC in 2022. 

RDCK Establishes Linear Infrastructure Construction Crew 

The board approved funding for the formation of a linear 

infrastructure (water pipe in the ground) construction crew 

that will be used to maintain all 20 RDCK water systems and 

take on new projects over the next three years. The funding 

includes $537,441 for equipment, one full time supervisor and 

two full time seasonal operators. The establishment of the work 

crew will reduce capital costs, ensure better asset management 

and a secure water supply. 

Water System Governance 

The Board has directed staff to draft a 

terms of reference for a new Water Services 

Committee to provide governance 

and oversight of RDCK water systems. 

The RDCK operates twenty local water 

systems, ten of which are currently governed 

by local Water Commissions. 

The draft terms of reference, expected 

to be considered by the Board in 2021, 

will propose duties and the function 

of the Water Services Committee and 

will be accompanied by a description of 

requirements and work plan necessary 

for implementation.

Introducing Brian Lye 

artist in residence 

Oxygen Art Centre is pleased to announce 

Brian Lye as Artist-in-Residence throughout 

the month of December. Lye is an internationally 

renowned filmmaker, artist, and 

educator who lives and works in Nelson, BC. 

His practice is focused in analogue film production, 

merging the everyday with formal 

experimentations in play, special effects, and 

psychogeography. 

Lye’s current body of work begins with crystals. 

Having conducted research for an experimental 

documentary on crystalline minerals 

across scientific, mining, and healing fields, 

Lye investigates the human and natural relation 

to crystals through discussion-based 

research. Interviewing experts on crystals 

from the region forms the foundational material 

for Lye’s experiments in 16mm analogue 

film throughout the residency. 

Fascinated by the semiprecious stones and 

their capacity for transmission, amplification, 

and new age applications, Lye draws upon his 

background in filmmaking and installation 

to create an immersive body of work. During 

his residency Lye will experiment with traditional 

16mm film titling techniques, growing 

crystals, developing film, and creating a series 

of projection installations for exhibition. 

The residency has been slightly augmented 

due to the pandemic to ensure the safety of 

the artists and community. Therefore, all 

events and updates related to the residency 

will take place online for the time being. 

Lye’s residency runs from 1 – 30 December 

2020. Stay tuned for more information

and updates about the residency, artist talk, 

and forthcoming exhibition by visiting Oxygen 

Art Centre’s social media channels and 

website. 

Brian Lye will also present an exhibition 

at Oxygen Art Centre following his residency. 

The exhibition will be on view from 

6 – 30 January 2021 during hours of operation, 

Wednesdays to Saturdays from 1 pm to 

5 pm. Information about Oxygen’s pandemic 

related protocols will be available to visitors 

on site, as well as on our website and social 

media channels.

Why replace your old 

wood stove? 

A wood stove can help to keep you warm 

and cozy in the winter. But did you know 

that old, inefficient wood stoves can affect air 

quality in your community? 

Here in the Regional District of Central 

Kootenay (RDCK), our topography, and the 

fact that many rural homes use wood stoves, 

combine to trap wood stove emissions within 

the steep valleys. Air quality data indicates 

that poor conditions often exist during the 

winter months, when wood stove use is at its 

peak. Wood smoke can be more harmful to 

human health than smog. 

To help encourage the replacement of 

non-efficient, non-EPA-certified stoves, the 

RDCK partnered with the Province of British 

Columbia, the BC Lung Association and 

local RDCK municipalities in 2009 to provide 

a regional wood stove exchange program. 

The RDCK then became one of 15 local 

governments to administer this program 

provincially. 

Since then, more than five hundred old 

stoves have been exchanged. The program 

continues in 2020, with funding to replace 

approximately 30 more non-EPA Certified 

stoves. Wood stove exchanges, combined with 

smart burning practices, will reduce harmful 

smoke generated in our communities. Learn 

more at www.rdck.ca. 

Regional District of Central Kootenay 

Caring for our elders 

during holiday season 

The winter season brings along with it many 

different festivals and holidays and, for many 

residents of the Regional District of Central 

Kootenay, socializing with family, friends and 

our wider community. The current COVID- 

19 situation is presenting new challenges and 

uncertainty to what can be an already stressful 

time – a feeling that is even more acute for 

people affected by dementia. Remembering a 

grandchild’s name, being included in group 

conversations or visiting a new place are all 

experiences that may challenge a person living 

with the disease and affect their experience 

of the holidays. To increase awareness 

and provide strategies to help local caregivers 

and people living with dementia prepare for 

the holidays during COVID-19, the Alzheimer 

Society of BC is offering two free webinars 

this month. 

“The holidays can present difficulties for 

people living with dementia for a multitude 

of reasons,” Carly Gronlund, the Alzheimer 

Society of BC’s provincial coordinator, 

explains. “Large groups of people, different 

activities happening at the same time, background 

noise, unfamiliar places and visual 

stimulus like flickering candles – these factors 

can all easily lead to sensory overload for a 

person living with dementia.” 

This year’s holiday gatherings will undoubtedly 

look different and that 

uncertainty can add additional 

challenges for people living 

with dementia, caregivers, 

family members and friends. 

“It’s important to understand 

what a person may find 

challenging, so that we can 

adapt accordingly. Even small 

changes can make a big difference 

and ensure everyone has 

the best holiday experience 

possible,” Carly says. 

The Society hosts free 

dementia education webinars 

every week for anyone affected 

by dementia or interested in

Monitoring invasive zebra and 

quagga mussels 

The Central Kootenay Invasive Species Society (CKISS) conducts 

lake monitoring to ensure early detection of new infestations 

of invasive zebra and quagga mussels (ZQM) in our 

region. If ZQM are detected in an aquatic ecosystem, response 

efforts must begin as quickly as possible. CKISS collected 270 

plankton samples from nine waterbodies from June until the 

end of October 2020. Samples were analyzed in a provincial lab 

to detect any presence of ZQM veligers (microscopic larvae). 

As of October 16, 256 of these samples have tested negative for

invasive mussels. The results from the remaining 16 samples 

are still pending. 

While ZQM have not been found in British Columbia to 

date, they remain a major threat to BC waters. In other parts of 

North America, these mussels have caused considerable damage 

to hydropower stations and municipal water supplies. The 

mussels also can have impacts on biodiversity, water quality, 

recreation, fisheries, and species at risk. 

In addition to monitoring, CKISS facilitates education and 

outreach activities related to mitigating the impacts of aquatic 

invasive species in the Central Kootenay. CKISS hosted a 

Clean, Drain, Dry educational booth at locations like the 

Village of Slocan boat launch, Lakeside Park in Nelson, and 

Kokanee Creek Provincial Park. The Clean, Drain, Dry program 

is designed to prevent the introduction and spread of 

aquatic invasive species through recreational pathways by 

increasing awareness about transporting invasive species and 

encouraging responsible behaviour, namely cleaning, draining, 

and drying watercraft and associated equipment. 

In 2020, CKISS installed educational signs at parks within 

the Regional District of Central Kootenay and at the Creston 

Valley Wildlife Management Area. The signs act as reminders 

to watercraft users and anglers of the Clean, Drain, Dry 

program. 

Once introduced into an aquatic ecosystem, it is very difficult, 

if not impossible, to control an invasive mussel population, 

so preventing these species from entering B.C. waters 

is critical. ZQM can be transferred from one waterbody to 

another as ‘hitchhikers’ on contaminated watercraft or related 

equipment. These organisms have been found as nearby as 

Montana and Manitoba, and could easily be introduced to 

B.C. waters on boats returning from a mussel-infested region.

This is why the BC Invasive Mussel Defence Program has 

watercraft inspection stations. At the stations, staff inspect 

and decontaminate high-risk watercraft so that they do not 

transport mussels into B.C. These inspection stations continued 

to operate in 2020. The total number of inspections conducted 

this year was lower than in 2019 as less watercraft was 

being transported from the US and neighbouring provinces, 

likely due to the global pandemic. However, these stations still 

played a very important role in preventing invasive mussels 

from entering BC waters. By July 23, 2020, 74 high-risk watercraft 

had been identified at BC inspection stations, and 10 of 

these were contaminated with invasive mussels. 

In 2019, it was noted that a number of vehicles carrying 

non-motorized watercraft were not stopping at the watercraft 

inspection stations. CKISS would like to remind drivers that 

ALL watercraft must stop at inspection stations. If your boat 

has been in a mussel-infested state or province in the last 30 

days, it MUST be decontaminated before entering BC waters. 

Boats which have not been in an infested province or state 

must still be thoroughly cleaned, drained, and dried when 

being moved from one waterbody to another. 

This important work is funded by the Ministry of Environment 

& Climate Change Strategy, Habitat Conservation Trust 

Foundation, and Columbia Power Corporation.

Province of BC 


Rossland student celebrates 

prestigious new award for 

unique spark 

Malia Johnston, 

a local 

Grade 11 high 

school student 

who attends 

Seven Summits 

Centre for 

Learning (7S) 

in Rossland, has 

received the first 

ever Jeff Stewart 

Memorial 

Award for radiating 

originality, 

having a unique 

spark, spirit, and 

presence. 

“Thanks! It was unexpected but I’m flattered!” says Malia in 

response to the news of her ‘surprise’ nomination and subsequent 

award win. Described by 7S staff as “quick witted, funny, 

thoughtful and animated, a young woman with a penchant for 

local history, positive action and debating,” Malia is active in 

the local community and leads by example. A volunteer for 

the Gold Fever Follies, she also works for the Rossland Youth 

Action Network, and is a digital archive assistant at Rossland 

Museum. She champions environmental issues and is a local 

LGBTQ pioneer. “It’s good to know that standing out pays off! 

‘Being me’ is not going to stop any time soon!” she adds. 

To mark the accomplishment, Ann Quarterman, who 

orchestrated the nomination before she left her role as 7S operations 

manager, returned to Seven Summits Centre for Learning 

to officially announce Malia’s accolade in front of family, 

friends and peers. “When we heard about this new award in 

the spring, Malia stood out as the obvious choice. She truly 

embodies everything it stands for, from thinking outside the 

box to forging her own path and she has made us all better 

educators. It has been amazing having you in my life, a true 

joy!” On a parting note to the entire student body Ann added: 

“Never be afraid to be yourself! Way to rock you guys!” 

“Malia is a strong, independent soul who dances to her own 

beat. Her individuality has always been encouraged at 7S and 

it’s great that she is being officially recognized for who she is. 

It’s well-deserved and we’re very proud of her!” stated Sheri 

Larsen, Malia’s mom. 

“We were so impressed with all the nominations we received. 

Kids across the province are doing really neat and incredible 

things!” said Anna King, former chairperson of Navigate 

NIDES PAC. Anna sat on the Awards Selection Committee and 

commissioned a hand-crafted pewter medal to be engraved 

and presented to Malia as a keepsake. “The medal is going to 

be awesome, a real treasure!” she added. 

Designed to recognize trailblazing Navigate NIDES students 

who are really ‘going for it’ and have spirit, innovation 

as well as creativity, the new award is non academic in nature 

and embodies all the qualities which Jeff Stewart exemplified 

before he passed away last year. He worked in School District 

71 for 15 years, was passionate about educational innovation, 

community, and collaboration, and as principal of NIDES 

(2011 – 2018) brought his visionary ideas and forward-thinking 

leadership to life. Demonstrating what is possible when 

schools dare to challenge the traditional conventions in public 

education, he successfully created the unique learning opportunities 

which enable students to find and follow their sparks 

in NIDES communities across British Columbia. 

Sue McBride, president of the 7S board, says: “Jeff Stewart 

was a true ‘Innovator of Education’. He looked at the diverse 

ways students learn and created programs and opportunities 

that built inclusiveness. Seven Summits Centre for Learning’s 

success is a direct result of his vision for education through 

his leadership connecting youth, families, educators, and their 

communities.”

MADD launches awareness 

campaign 

MADD Nelson Community Leader launches their Project 

Red Ribbon campaign to promote sober driving throughout 

the upcoming holiday season. Red ribbons will be available at 

Urban Legends located at 533 Baker Street and Buddy’s Place 

located at 358 Baker Street for anyone in the community to 

come in and pick up their red ribbon. 

MADD Canada’s red ribbon and red ribbon car decals are 

symbols of a person’s commitment to drive safe and sober 

during the holiday season, and also serve as a powerful tribute 

to all those killed or injured in impaired driving crashes. 

While the usual parties and celebrations may be limited this 

year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the holiday season is 

still a busy time on our roads and still a time of high risk for 

impaired driving. 

MADD Nelson is urging people to take a few minutes to 

plan ahead. If you’re going to be consuming alcohol, cannabis 

or other drugs, arrange a sober ride. 

“Impaired driving crashes are 100% preventable,” said 

MADD Nelson Community Leader Pat Henman. “If everyone 

does their part, make responsible choices and plans ahead for a 

sober ride home, we can prevent these heartbreaking and devastating 

deaths and injuries on our roads.” 

Ms. Henman, who in 2013 was seriously injured in an 

impaired driving crash along with her daughter Maia, has 

written a book called Beyond the Legal Limit describing her 

and Maia’s journey from the day they were hit by an impaired 

driver to the day court ended. 

“Writing the book was one way for me to deal with my 

trauma but it is also a conduit for bringing awareness to stop 

the senseless heartache and damage created every day on our 

highways.” 

Hundreds of Canadians are killed and thousands are injured 

due to alcohol and/or drug-related crashes every year. A few 

minutes spent planning a sober ride home could save lives and 

prevent injuries. 

This year’s Project Red Ribbon materials share the story 

of Cassius Richards, whose life was cut short by an impaired 

driver in 2014. You can see his story here: https://youtube/ 

COLJrdNJ5Y0 

“We are looking for more businesses who will have our red 

ribbons available at their location for people in our community 

to pick-up,” says Ms. Henman. “If you would like a red ribbon 

box or would just like a red ribbon, please contact Pat Henman 

at pathenman00@gmail.com.”

New parking regs 

for Community 

Complex 

The Regional District of Central 

Kootenay (RDCK) board has 

approved a service agreement 

between the RDCK and the City of 

Nelson for bylaw enforcement to 

monitor the Nelson & District Community 

Complex (NDCC) parking 

lot. Effective December 1, 2020, the 

NDCC lot will be a two-hour parking 

zone, from 9 am to 5 pm, and 

enforced by the City of Nelson. Violators 

will be subject to ticketing and/ 

or potential towing. 

The agreement was reached after 

in depth research was conducted 

to monitor, evaluate and consider 

options to address the negative 

impact of unauthorized parking. 

Parking capacity has been an ongoing 

challenge for 

residents in the area 

attempting to access 

services at the NDCC 

due to non enforcement. 

The goal is to 

create more parking 

opportunities for 

NDCC users, while 

supporting an effective approach to 

parking enforcement that is consistent 

with other areas throughout the 

City of Nelson. 

Bylaw enforcement will begin with 

an “Education” program during the 

month of December. Vehicles will be 

monitored by enforcement officers 

and warnings for “failing to comply” 

will be issued to ensure the community 

is provided with adequate time 

to adjust to the changes. 

“We do not want to ticket our community 

members; however, we need 

to create accessible options for our 

diverse community to park within 

reach of the facility to allow access 

for those with mobility issues, large 

equipment and young children to 

reach us safely,” said Marty Benson, 

Manager of Recreation, NDCC. “We 

have heard from our community 

members how important this issue 

is for everyone. We encourage everyone 

to work together with us to support 

appropriate parking lot usage.” 

For more information on the new 

parking regulations or any questions 

you might have, contact Jodi Vousden, 

Assistant Manager of Recreation
