Training service dogs can happen through high school At Seven Summits Centre for Learning, the grade eight and nine students complete a year-long “Rite of Passage Experience” project (R.O.P.E). This project introduces the students to new areas of study and skill practice as they work with community mentors. A project of special interest this year was Maddi Hampton’s dog training project where she learned how to teach dogs to become certified assistance animals for the Leash of Hope Assistance Dogs program. Maddi admits she may not have been inspired to do this if not for the R.O.P.E project. Now Maddi is working diligently with her second dog and SIDEWALK SALE September 7th - 11th. One week only!

Using Leash of Hope methods, dogs are trained to be certified assistance dogs in the areas of autism, psychological, vision, mobility, and stability assistance. Maddi continues to work with Leash of Hope as a junior trainer. To begin, Maddi reached out through the Leash of Hope website, and shortly after met the two owners who started her training sessions. She learned what stages and tests the dogs would have to progress through to become certified assistance dogs and what her role as a junior trainer would be in this process. Most dogs are rescue dogs. Maddi’s first pup, Valor, and current pup, Hamlet, are both rescue dogs from Texas. Each level of training the dogs accomplish moves them closer to being placed with a person in need. Level one focuses on the basics where the dog learns to respond to commands. As they pass to level two, the dog learns specific skills. In level three, the dog specializes in a class of assistance: bigger dogs are generally mobility and stability dogs like guide dogs. Under Maddi’s coaching, her first dog moved into level three, and he is now being tested as a guide dog. Maddi’s current pup, under her training, has just passed level two testing. Maddi hopes this can be an opportunity to bring awareness and education to the community about assistance/service dogs and the need for supporting important organizations like Leash of Hope.

Would you like to live better? Then a no cost Self-Management workshop will help achieve your goal. Return to school recovery plan Yesterday Education Minister Jennifer Whiteside and Dr. Bonnie Henry announced that K-12 students will return to school for full time, in-person instruction in September. September 2021 will not be as close to near normal as we all had hoped, but it’s a different September than 12 months ago. While we have the Delta variant circulating, we also have vaccines. Of children ages 12-17, 72% have received their first dose/ shot and 57% have received both shots/doses and are fully vaccinated. This number rises daily and BCCDC will be reporting on this in their updates before school begins. Read the media release, watch the recorded announcement and/or reference the Safe School website. There are 4 key documents parents/guardians should read/ review: 1) Return to School Recovery Plan (Please note there are no stages in the K-12 plan); 2) Health & Safety Guidelines; 3) BCCDC Guidance; and 4) Protocols for Administrators which includes info on exposures, notices, communication. To ensure a healthy and safe return to school, updates have been made to the COVID-19 Communicable Disease Guidelines (Health & Safety) for K-12 Settings, in alignment with the BCCDC COVID-19 Public Health Communicable Disease Guidance for K-12 Schools (documents noted above), including the authority for Medical Health Officers (MHO) to introduce additional regional measures specific to individual schools or school districts where community transmission rates are higher. Cohorts and strict physical distancing is no longer required. School districts must ensure heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems are designed, operated and maintained to Occupational Health and Safety and Work- SafeBC standards. General cleaning of schools, cleaning and disinfecting of frequently touched surfaces will be conducted at least once in every 24-hour period and when visibly dirty. Masks in K - 12 Masks will continue to be required in all indoor spaces (including desks) for all K-12 staff, visitors (including parents and PACs) and students in Grades 4 to 12 in schools and on school buses. cont’d on pg 7 Is there untapped value in your land?

BC Transit: Free for kids now! As of September 1, 2021, children 12 and under will be able to “Get on Board” any BC Transit or TransLink service for free as part of the provincial government’s commitment to efficient, reliable and affordable transit for families. Anyone who typically buys fares or monthly bus passes for children 12 and under will no longer need to do so. “We are excited to launch a program that will benefit parents and caregivers and make life more affordable for families across BC,” said Rob Fleming, Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure. “As we rebuild transit systems and ridership after the pandemic, this new program will encourage people to get onboard with the potential to save families hundreds of dollars every year.” Depending on the mode of public transit and service provider (TransLink or BC Transit), there are slight differences in the program’s initial rollout. For West Kootenay residents who rely on BC Transit buses, this is what’s new: • Unaccompanied children aged six to 12 will be able to ride buses and HandyDART for free, without requiring a fare product or identification. • BC Transit will require children aged five and under to be accompanied by a person 12 or older. While travel for children 12 and under will be free, parents/ guardians remain responsible for providing adequate provisions for the safety and care of their children whenever travelling on transit, including when travelling unaccompanied and determining if their children may take transit unaccompanied.

The KLLCF was established by the RDCK in 2014 by referendum. Property owners in Electoral Areas A, D and E pay a parcel tax of $15 per parcel per year towards this dedicated fund, which provides financial support each year to local projects that help conserve and restore the area’s prized fish, wildlife, habitat and water. KCP, which works in partnership with the RDCK to administer the KLLCF, is encouraging non-profit organizations and Indigenous communities operating in the participating areas to submit their funding proposals for 2022 projects. Community groups and individuals can partner with an eligible organization to apply. The deadline for applications is 4:30 p.m. PT on October 29, 2021. If you have a new project idea, it is highly recommended that you contact the KCP program manager prior to submitting an application to discuss your project idea. Local conservation priorities were identified in a KLLCF Guidance Document that the RDCK commissioned in 2018. To learn more about the KLLCF, how to apply, and conservation priorities from the Guidance Document, please visit https://kootenayconservation.ca/kootenay-lake-local-conservation-fund/. For phone or email inquiries, please contact KCP program manager Juliet Craig at 250-352-2260 or juliet@ kootenayconservation.ca.
