<strong>Nelson</strong>’s Cold War Bunker<br />

Congratulations to Touchstones <strong>Nelson</strong> Museum of Art and<br />

History for their recent recognition and honour from the BC<br />

Heritage Awards.<br />

The Cold War Bunker project began in 2013 when the board<br />

of directors of Touchstones <strong>Nelson</strong> Museum “rediscovered”<br />

the cold war bunker. It was determined that the history collection<br />

of <strong>Nelson</strong> and Area, managed by the museum, could<br />

be moved into the bunker’s former dormitory rooms, thus<br />

ensuring that the collection would remain more accessible and<br />

safely housed for posterity.<br />

The exhibition, programming space, and public interactive<br />

components involve a collaboratively researched and designed<br />

exhibition comprising of 5 didactic panels with archival photographs,<br />

text, and documents. In addition to collections items<br />

from the museum, there are also documentary film and interactive<br />

programming elements, including a QR-code activated<br />

touch-screen display that explores the lack of social justice,<br />

equity and inclusion that would have existed in the bunker<br />

had it been activated during the cold-war.<br />

Hope methods, dogs<br />

are trained to be certified<br />

assistance dogs<br />

in the areas of autism,<br />

psychological, vision,<br />

mobility, and stability<br />

assistance. Maddi<br />

continues to work<br />

with Leash of Hope as a junior trainer.<br />

To begin, Maddi reached out through<br />

the Leash of Hope website, and shortly<br />

after met the two owners who started<br />

her training sessions. She learned what<br />

stages and tests<br />

the dogs would<br />

have to progress<br />

through to<br />

become certified<br />

assistance dogs<br />

and what her role<br />

as a junior trainer<br />

would be in this<br />

process. Most<br />

dogs are rescue<br />

dogs. Maddi’s<br />

first pup, Valor,<br />

and current pup,<br />

Hamlet, are both rescue<br />

dogs from Texas.<br />

Each level of training<br />

the dogs accomplish<br />

moves them<br />

closer to being placed<br />

with a person in need.<br />

Level one focuses on<br />

the basics where the<br />

dog learns to respond<br />

to commands. As<br />

they pass to level two,<br />

the dog learns specific<br />

skills. In level<br />

three, the dog specializes<br />

in a class of assistance: bigger<br />

dogs are generally mobility and stability<br />

dogs like guide dogs. Under Maddi’s<br />

coaching, her first dog moved into level<br />

three, and he is now being tested as a<br />

guide dog. Maddi’s current pup, under<br />

her training, has just passed level two<br />

testing.<br />

Maddi hopes this can be an opportunity<br />

to bring awareness and education<br />

to the community about assistance/service<br />

dogs and the need for supporting<br />

important organizations like Leash of<br />

Hope.<br />

Return to school recovery plan<br />

Yesterday Education Minister Jennifer Whiteside and Dr.<br />

Bonnie Henry announced that K-12 students will return to<br />

school for full time, in-person instruction in <strong>Sept</strong>ember. <strong>Sept</strong>ember<br />

2021 will not be as close to near normal as we all had<br />

hoped, but it’s a different <strong>Sept</strong>ember than 12 months ago. While<br />

we have the Delta variant circulating, we also have vaccines.<br />

Of children ages 12-17, 72% have received their first dose/<br />

shot and 57% have received both shots/doses and are fully vaccinated.<br />

This number rises daily and BCCDC will be reporting<br />

on this in their updates before school begins. Read the media<br />

release, watch the recorded announcement and/or reference<br />

the Safe School website.<br />

There are 4 key documents parents/guardians should read/<br />

review:<br />

1) Return to School Recovery Plan (Please note there are no<br />

stages in the K-12 plan);<br />

2) Health & Safety Guidelines;<br />

3) BCCDC Guidance; and<br />

4) Protocols for Administrators which includes info on<br />

exposures, notices, communication.<br />

To ensure a healthy and safe return to school, updates have<br />

been made to the COVID-19 Communicable Disease Guidelines<br />

(Health & Safety) for K-12 Settings, in alignment with<br />

the BCCDC COVID-19 Public Health Communicable Disease<br />

Guidance for K-12 Schools (documents noted above),<br />

including the authority for Medical Health Officers (MHO) to<br />

introduce additional regional measures specific to individual<br />

schools or school districts where community transmission<br />

rates are higher. Cohorts and strict physical distancing is no<br />

longer required.<br />

School districts must ensure heating, ventilation and air<br />

conditioning (HVAC) systems are designed, operated and<br />

maintained to Occupational Health and Safety and Work-<br />

SafeBC standards. General cleaning of schools, cleaning and<br />

disinfecting of frequently touched surfaces will be conducted<br />

at least once in every 24-hour period and when visibly dirty.<br />

Masks in K - 12<br />

Masks will continue to be required in all indoor spaces<br />

(including desks) for all K-12 staff, visitors (including parents<br />

and PACs) and students in Grades 4 to 12 in schools and on<br />

school buses.<br />

BC Transit:<br />

Free for kids now!<br />

As of <strong>Sept</strong>ember 1, 2021, children 12 and under will be able<br />

to “Get on Board” any BC Transit or TransLink service for free<br />

as part of the provincial government’s commitment to efficient,<br />

reliable and affordable transit for families.<br />

Anyone who typically buys fares or monthly bus passes for<br />

children 12 and under will no longer need to do so. “We are<br />

excited to launch a program that will benefit parents and caregivers<br />

and make life more affordable for families across BC,”<br />

said Rob Fleming, Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure.<br />

“As we rebuild transit systems and ridership after the pandemic,<br />

this new program will encourage people to get onboard<br />

with the potential to save families hundreds of dollars every<br />

year.”<br />

Depending on the mode of public transit and service provider<br />

(TransLink or BC Transit), there are slight differences in<br />

the program’s initial rollout. For West Kootenay residents who<br />

rely on BC Transit buses, this is what’s new:<br />

• Unaccompanied children aged six to 12 will be able to<br />

ride buses and HandyDART for free, without requiring a<br />

fare product or identification.<br />

• BC Transit will require children aged five and under to<br />

be accompanied<br />

by a<br />

person 12<br />

or older.<br />

While travel<br />

for children 12<br />

and under will<br />

be free, parents/<br />

guardians remain<br />

responsible for<br />

providing adequate<br />

provisions<br />

for the safety<br />

and care of their<br />

children whenever<br />

travelling on<br />

transit, including<br />

when travelling<br />

unaccompanied<br />

and determining<br />

if their children<br />

may take transit<br />

unaccompanied.<br />

Kootenay Lake local<br />

conservation fund accepting<br />

2022 proposals<br />

The Kootenay Conservation Program (KCP), on behalf of<br />

the Regional District of Central Kootenay (RDCK), is now<br />

accepting proposals for the Kootenay Lake Local Conservation<br />

Fund (KLLCF).<br />

The KLLCF was established by the RDCK in 2014 by referendum.<br />

Property owners in Electoral Areas A, D and E pay a<br />

parcel tax of $15 per parcel per year towards this dedicated<br />

fund, which provides financial support each year to local projects<br />

that help conserve and restore the area’s prized fish, wildlife,<br />

habitat and water.<br />

KCP, which works in partnership with the RDCK to administer<br />

the KLLCF, is encouraging non-profit organizations and<br />

Indigenous communities operating in the participating areas<br />

to submit their funding proposals for 2022 projects. Community<br />

groups and individuals can partner with an eligible organization<br />

to apply. The deadline for applications is 4:30 p.m. PT<br />

on October 29, 2021. If you have a new project idea, it is highly<br />

recommended that you contact the KCP program manager<br />

prior to submitting an application to discuss your project idea.<br />

Local conservation priorities were identified in a KLLCF<br />

Guidance Document that the RDCK commissioned in 2018.<br />

To learn more about the KLLCF, how to apply, and conservation<br />

priorities from the Guidance Document, please visit<br />

https://kootenayconservation.ca/kootenay-lake-local-conservation-fund/.<br />

For phone or email inquiries, please contact<br />

KCP program manager Juliet Craig at 250-352-2260 or juliet@<br />

Health Measures... cont’d from pg 6<br />

“While we are beginning to see cases in the central Okanagan<br />

slowly plateau, we are seeing more cases in other areas<br />

of Interior Health,” said Interior Health president and CEO,<br />

Susan Brown. “We are calling on all young adults to get your<br />

vaccine, especially those who work in jobs where you interact<br />

with the public. It is the most effective way to protect yourself<br />

and to reduce transmission in the community.”<br />

Most people are being exposed at social gatherings, work<br />

places or in private households. The delta variant is leading<br />

to faster transmission and more severe outcomes for younger<br />

people. Immunization remains the most effective prevention<br />

against COVID-19.<br />

“The vast majority of our cases are in people who are unimmunized<br />

or partially immunized and in adults between 20-40<br />

years old. For those who haven’t yet gotten their first dose of<br />

the COVID-19 vaccine, please get it now. Getting immunized<br />

will help keep our hospital beds open for treating people with<br />

other illnesses and needing surgery,” said Interior Health medical<br />

health officer, Dr. Rob Parker.<br />

The interval between first and second COVID-19 vaccine<br />

doses has decreased to 28 days for everyone. People can get<br />

vaccinated by dropping into any IH immunization clinic or<br />

by booking an appointment. Pop-up clinics are being added<br />

in communities throughout the region. All clinic locations<br />

and details area available here: https://news.interiorhealth.ca/<br />

news/covid-19-immunization-clinics/,<br />

Testing continues to be available to anyone experiencing<br />

symptoms of COVID-19. People can book an appointment<br />

online or call 1.877.740.7747 between 8 am <strong>–</strong> 7 pm daily.<br />

How to get vaccinated<br />

People can get their first or second dose of a COVID-19 vaccine<br />

by dropping in to any IH immunization clinic or by making<br />

an appointment.<br />

To make an appointment, register online by visiting the<br />

provincial website at: www.getvaccinated.gov.bc.ca/, call<br />

1‐833‐838‐2323, or visit a Service BC office and then book an<br />

appointment.<br />

Rapid Response Teams<br />

Six rapid response teams are in place to support K-12 schools<br />

across the province. The teams will work with school districts,<br />

independent schools and health authorities to respond to<br />

COVID-19 exposures in schools. Rapid response teams have representatives<br />

from school and public health staff. The teams will:<br />

• Work with schools, school districts and health authority<br />

staff to review significant school exposure events, make<br />

recommendations and support schools to enhance their<br />

communicable disease plans when needed<br />

• Review school or district COVID-19 communicable<br />

disease plans and related policies<br />

• Support schools with communications to students, staff<br />

and families regarding communicable disease prevention<br />

• Conduct school safety assessments<br />

• Support schools with implementing pandemic recovery<br />

plans, including a focus on mental health and wellbeing<br />

and addressing impacts on learning<br />

Music and Physical Ed<br />

Students can participate in music and physical education<br />

programs, with additional safety measures in place. Masks<br />

aren’t required when doing activities that cannot be performed<br />

while wearing a mask, like playing a wind instrument<br />

or participating in high-intensity physical activity. Students<br />

must continue to wear masks while singing. Shared equipment<br />

will be cleaned and disinfected and students are encouraged to<br />

wash their hands before and after use. Students will be asked<br />

not to share equipment that touches the mouth, like an instrument<br />

mouthpiece or mouthguard, unless cleaned and disinfected<br />

in between uses.<br />

Sports, Clubs and Extracurricular Activities<br />

Activities like sports team practices and games, sports academies<br />

and events can continue. They will follow local, regional<br />

and provincial public health recommendations and orders for<br />

community gatherings and events. Sport and extracurricular<br />

activities should be held outside whenever possible. Students<br />

will be encouraged to wash their hands before and after using<br />

equipment and cover their mouths when coughing or sneezing.<br />

Students will be asked not to share equipment that touches<br />

the mouth unless cleaned and disinfected in between uses.<br />

Masks in Public Spaces<br />

Dr. Henry also announced a Provincial Health Officer<br />

Order reinstating masks in indoor public spaces. This Order<br />

comes into effect<br />

today and will<br />

address mask<br />

wearing in indoor<br />

spaces such as grocery<br />

stores, retail<br />

centres, recreation<br />

centres and offices<br />

where public services<br />

are provided.<br />

More information<br />

will be made available<br />

over the next<br />

few days.<br />

Proof<br />

of<br />

Vaccination<br />

Monday’s<br />

announcement<br />

regarding<br />

the requirement<br />

for proof of vaccination<br />

to access<br />

certain businesses<br />

and events does<br />

NOT apply to K-12<br />

schools (public and<br />

independent) OR<br />

before-and-after<br />

school programs,<br />

as these are covered<br />

by specific guidelines<br />

for school and<br />

child care settings.<br />

The Ministry is<br />

working with public<br />

health officials<br />

to clarify how the<br />

measures will apply to gatherings and events in K-12 schools<br />

attended by parents, families and the public (e.g. theatres, concerts).<br />

More information will be provided on this in the near<br />

future.<br />

Masks mandatory on all<br />

BC Transit buses<br />

Following the guidance of the Provincial Health Officer and<br />

WorkSafeBC, and in alignment with TransLink, BC Transit is<br />

requiring the use of face coverings in BC Transit communities<br />

across the province, effective Wednesday, August 25.<br />

Our ongoing goal is to create a comfortable and safe environment<br />

for all customers and drivers. This includes the mandatory<br />

use of face coverings on buses and at bus stops, unless a<br />

customer meets the exemption criteria.<br />

The remainder of BC Transit’s safety measures, reviewed<br />

by both the Provincial Health Officer and WorkSafe BC, also<br />

remain in place to ensure a safe environment for our employees,<br />

customers and communities. These include:<br />

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 />

If interested, please contact Len Hewat<br />

Kootenay-Columbia Federal Candidates All Candidates Event<br />

The <strong>Nelson</strong> and District Chamber of Commerce<br />

and <strong>Nelson</strong> at its Best are conducting a<br />

public online All-Candidates Election Forum<br />

on Wednesday <strong>Sept</strong>ember 15, 7 <strong>–</strong> 8:30 pm.<br />

Zoom online platform<br />

The forum, which will happen via Zoom<br />

online, will focus on critical social and<br />

economic issues, with the five candidates<br />

in attendance to express their reasons for<br />

running, what they and their parties are offering<br />

— and of course, to answer questions.<br />

To help set the stage for each issue being<br />

explored with the candidates, there will be a<br />

brief overview contributed by a local expert<br />

working in that aspect of community life.<br />

“These issue inputs from people actively<br />

engaged in making our community stronger<br />

are a great way to let the candidates hear<br />

what is important<br />

to local people, and<br />

where the challenges<br />

lie <strong>–</strong> and for voters to see and hear how the<br />

candidates think on their feet,” says George<br />

Chandler with the joint organizing group.<br />

“Selected topics will range from childcare to<br />

economic development, from Truth and Reconciliation<br />

to Covid recovery, from climate<br />

change to housing, from the opioid crisis to<br />

post-secondary education.”<br />

This forum will be co-hosted by the Bob<br />

Hall with the <strong>Nelson</strong> and District Chamber<br />

of Commerce and Kim Bater with <strong>Nelson</strong> at<br />

its Best.<br />

To register, go to www.nelsonlibrary.ca<br />

You will have the opportunity to submit a<br />

written question to the candidates when you<br />

register.<br />

A single unspayed cat can produce 470,000 offspring<br />

in just seven years. Sadly, most of them end up<br />

abandoned at BC SPCA shelters or condemned to a<br />

grim life on the streets. Be responsible - don’t litter.<br />

www.spca.bc.ca<br />

The 2022 Santa Cruz is now in stock at Castlegar Hyundai, and we could not be more excited. The Santa Cruz is made<br />

for adventure-seekers, outdoor enthusiasts, and do-it-yourselfers. It combines the flexibility of an open truck bed<br />

with the comfort of an SUV so you can easily load your gear or cargo and start your next home project, family holiday<br />

or Kootenay road trip. Contact us today to learn more about the 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz and to arrange a test drive.<br />

Exploring gender, sex,<br />

and the history of Pride<br />

Photo: Jamie Srigley<br />

There are few things in this world that<br />

evoke the sense of love, happiness and solidarity<br />

as a well-executed Pride<br />

parade. The rainbow flags, the<br />

glitter, the costumes, the dancing<br />

- an unstoppable force, topping<br />

off a whirlwind weekend of events<br />

during <strong>Nelson</strong>!s Pride Weekend,<br />

which has been organized by the<br />

Kootenay queer community for<br />

over 20 years.<br />

Queer Kootenays: We Love a<br />

Parade, the latest exhibition at<br />

Touchstones <strong>Nelson</strong> Museum,<br />

ex- plores the history of the<br />

LGBTQ+2S movement in the<br />

Kootenays since the late 1960s.<br />

The ex- hibition is community<br />

curated, featuring stories, photographs,<br />

videos, costumes, and<br />

other in- formation from the<br />

community, supported with<br />

archival photographs from the<br />

Shawn Lamb Archives. Together,<br />

the items tell a familiar tale; one<br />

where organizers and supporters<br />

have been met with fear and<br />

anger as often as they were welcomed<br />

with open arms.<br />

The exhibition is rooted by a<br />

wall-mounted timeline, which<br />

was researched by two stellar university<br />

students, and informed by<br />

the community. “The timeline is<br />

a device that lets us see history at<br />

a glance, from international to community<br />

events which illustrate inclusion, intolerance,<br />

celebration and ongoing change,” says<br />

museum curator Arin Fay.<br />

<strong>Nelson</strong>’s queer history is also being captured<br />

in a short documentary, produced by<br />

Touchstones <strong>Nelson</strong> Museum and Watershed<br />

Productions. Queering the Interior centres on<br />

“the people and moments that defined the<br />

LGBTQ2S+ community in the Kootenays,<br />

while paying tribute to the legacy of activism<br />

that led to a diverse and robust queer population<br />

today,” says director Amy Bohigian.<br />

“Spanning decades, this half-hour documentary<br />

will explore how the discrimination and<br />

demands of one generation were transformed<br />

into the rights and responsibilities of those<br />

that followed.” This project was funded by the<br />

Government of Canada’s New Horizons for<br />

Seniors Program.<br />

 Showing concurrently with We Love a<br />

Parade, is Montreal-based photographer JJ<br />

Gnaw on a problem long enough and<br />

enlightenment comes...<br />

tell, the more you sell.<br />

Levine’s exhibition Alone Time/Queer Portraits.<br />

Levine uses portraiture to explore the<br />

relationship between photographer and subject,<br />

and to highlight the fluidity of gender.<br />

“Through these projects, I hope to provoke<br />

thought, white maintaining my commitment<br />

to formal photographic techniques,” Levine<br />

says in their artist statement. “The underlying<br />

You’re invited<br />

Meeting<br />

goal of my work is to celebrate the resistance<br />

and resilience in my queer community<br />

through the confrontational gaze of my subjects<br />

and our collective cultural aesthetic.”<br />

Prepare for remote<br />

interviews<br />

Even after businesses have<br />

reopened, remote interviews<br />

will likely be the norm. Set<br />

up an interview spot in your<br />

home with good lighting, a<br />

neutral background, limited<br />

distractions, and a desirable<br />

camera angle. Practice being<br />

interviewed digitally. Master<br />

various meeting applications<br />

by downloading necessary<br />

software in advance so that<br />

technical difficulties will not<br />

derail the process. The interviewer<br />

sees only your background,<br />

so utilize a paper or<br />

whiteboard in front of you<br />

with notes or talking points.<br />

A job search may be complicated<br />

by the coronavirus,<br />

but there are steps to make<br />

it easier to find a job. With<br />

patience and positivity, the<br />

odds can be in job-seekers’<br />

favor.<br />

Update your résumé for job hunting during COVID-19<br />

The economy has struggled during<br />

the COVID-19 pandemic, and many<br />

people are concerned by what the future<br />

may bring, particularly regarding their<br />

careers. Some fields may continue to<br />

scale back while others may increase<br />

operations. There is much uncertainty<br />

for those looking for new work or considering<br />

changing jobs.<br />

Even though the coronavirus may<br />

slow down the process of hiring and<br />

make it even more competitive, job<br />

seekers must avoid the notion that<br />

they should throw in the towel and try<br />

to wait out the lull. Many people have<br />

found new jobs during the pandemic,<br />

and these strategies can help men and<br />

women do just that.<br />

Update your résumé<br />

Many people may think that résumé<br />

writing is a “one and done” process,<br />

but that’s not the case. The Balance:<br />

Careers says a résumé should be<br />

updated and tweaked each time a<br />

person applies for a position. Keep a<br />

generalized outline for your résumé,<br />

but be sure to modify your skills and<br />

accomplishments as they pertain<br />

to the specific job for which you’re<br />

applying.<br />

In many instances, a functional<br />

résumé format, which emphasizes<br />

skills over linear job experience, is a<br />

good choice because it can gloss over<br />

gaps in the résumé or frequent job<br />

changes. Remember to fill the résumé<br />

with the same verbiage used in the job<br />

posting. If scanning software is used<br />

to cull résumés for key words, yours<br />

will have the right words and phrases.<br />

Update social media<br />

If you use a<br />

social media<br />

application like<br />

LinkedIn, Plaxo<br />

or Jobster to network,<br />

be sure to<br />

keep your profile<br />

current. It<br />

also may be<br />

helpful to join industry networking<br />

groups and organizations at this<br />

time, as they may have an ongoing<br />

aggregator of job openings in particular<br />

fields.<br />

Research the industry<br />

While travel, hospitality and event<br />

planning have been hit hard due to<br />

COVID-19, other industries like<br />

online shopping, delivery, healthcare,<br />

grocery stores, cleaning services,<br />

and more, have experienced growth.<br />

Many industries also have revamped<br />

operations and may need a consultant<br />

or expert to help them change<br />

over their business formats. Do not<br />

assume that the pandemic has stalled<br />

all job prospects.<br />
