Emergency can strike at any time. Having a plan in place can be a difference-maker in ensuring you and your family are able to get out safely. Are you prepared? “Fire can start in the blink of an eye,” said Gareth Jones, president and CEO of the Canada Safety Council. “Preparation is essential. Everyone should know how to get out of their house at a moment’s notice — because in some cases, a moment’s notice is all you will get.” Home fires, of course, can spread rapidly. They can occur for a wide variety of reasons, including faulty appliances and wiring, flammable materials that are left too close to a heat source, open flames left unguarded and carelessness when handling cigarettes. 5 x 7 “I’ve learned how to have an entrepreneur’s vision.” COCO SEITZ, OWNER, MAMA'S DUMPLINGS A good home fire escape plan is crucial and everyone in the household should be involved in its creation. Walk through the home, taking note of all potential escape routes. If your household has younger children or includes people who are more visual learners, consider drawing a physical map of the house with at least two exits out of each room clearly identified. Here are a few other tips to help you along as you’re considering your fire escape plan: Plan ahead of time with regards to any seniors, infants, and mobility-impaired individuals. Identify someone in the home whose responsibility it is to assist them in the event of an emergency. Be ready in case of fire Plan a meeting location once outside. This is the spot by which everyone in the household should gather once the house has been evacuated. It should be a safe distance from the home and easily identifiable. Practice your fire escape plan twice a year, making sure to be as realistic as possible with it. Practice for safe speed — time may be of the essence. At the same time, keep in mind that practice doesn’t have to induce fear. It’s okay to warn the household ahead of time that there will be a fire drill. Faith, Hope & Charity Barnstorming Co. Once you’re out, stay out. Even if someone is missing, firefighters are much better equipped to be able to rescue them safely than you will be in a moment of panic and high adrenaline. Be cautious, be proactive, be safe. A fire can be a devastating and traumatizing experience but, by putting your safety and the safety of your family first, you’ll be best positioned to escape with the most irreplaceable thing you have: your lives. Canada Safety Council RDKB to get moving on Green Corridor Transportation will get greener in the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) thanks to a $50,000 Active Transportation Network Planning Grant from the Province of BC. The funds, combined with a $50,000 contribution from the RDKB, will lead to the development of the Lower Columbia Rolling Green Ribbon (see image below), a biking/walking corridor that will link the downtown cores of Rossland, Warfield, Trail, Montrose and Fruitvale, as well as Electoral Areas A and B. The objective will be to link major employers, schools and other amenities for the benefit of commuters and recreational users. “This project is another step the RDKB is taking to meet our strategic priorities to address environmental stewardship and climate preparedness, respond to demographic and social change, and provide cost-effective services to our residents,” said Diane Langman, chair of the RDKB’s Board of Directors. The project will include several stakeholders, including the South Kootenay Green Link (SKGL) & Active Transportation (AT) Working Group, which includes members from each of the electoral areas and municipalities involved in this initiative. Additionally, representatives from the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, as well as environmental and economic organizations will be involved. A steering committee will be created to engage with community members, representatives from business and industry, cycling groups, the RCMP and the school district, among others. The next step will be for the RDKB to issue a Request for Proposals to hire a consultant to move the project forward.

Christmas in The Outlet The Procter Christmas Craft Faire and the Harrop Hall Last Chance Christmas Faire have decided to combine their events this year in order to host a Covid-appropriate Holiday Market. Vendors will be spread throughout 3 festive locations on the weekend of December 5 and 6, 9 am – 3 pm in order to provide enough room for guests to socially distance comfortably while shopping. The first location will be at the Harrop Hall, the second at the Little Red Schoolhouse, and the third at the Procter Hall, plus don’t forget to check out Gallery 229 just up the road from the Procter Hall. There will be a donation jar at the door for Things get twinkly at Taghum Hall Taghum Hall has a case of elves, with no immediate cure for these seasonal twinkles. Upcoming are three twinkly events: “Gnomes for the Kitchen” on Saturday, November 27 with dollmaker Susan Forster offers participants the opportunity to make a personal gnome just in time for Christmas. “Getting Started with Alcohol Ink” with Brenda Cavalier, which runs optional entry fees. Outdoor bonfires, warm drinks, and a festive atmosphere will encourage our community to gather in a safe space, while supporting our local artisans. This is intended to be a fun tour of our community, so guests will be given a different colored ticket at each location upon paying their entrance donation. At the next location, just show your previous ticket and receive a new one for that venue. Once all three tickets have been collected, guests will be eligible to enter their name into the draw for a super-sized gift basket filled with products from ALL the vendors, which will be drawn by live video the day after the event. All Covid safety protocols will be strictly followed, and face masks required. Saturday, December 4, introduces participants to an exciting new medium. Preregistration is required for these workshops, which benefit the Hall’s kitchen renovation project. On Friday, December 10 from 4 to 9pm, “A Taghum Hall Country Christmas” is where things really get twinkly, with crafts, baking, music, a kids-only market, a visit from the Big Elf himself, and a play—“The Santa Interviews”—featuring talented young thespians. Full information at taghumhall.ca. If you are interested in being a vendor, please email Caroline at proctercommunitysociety@gmail.com or pick up your application form at the Procter Store. All products must be handmade, no distributors please. Hope to see you there! Dress warm for outdoor fun, and feel free to bring your bells, Christmas carols, and holiday spirit.
