David Thompson University Centre reunion planning underway The organizers of a planned 2023 reunion of faculty, support staff and students from Nelson’s David Thompson University Centre are seeking input from people formerly associated with the school. Preferred dates and reunion events are among the questions reunion organizers have for interested individuals, who are asked to contact the reunion committee at dtucreunion@gmail.com DTUC was a consortium of the University of Victoria and Selkirk College, established in 1979 on the premises of Notre Dame University of Nelson following NDU’s closure in 1977. DTUC students could obtain a UVic BA degree, and the institution incorporated Nelson’s former Kootenay School of Art, which became DTUC’s fine arts department. Instruction was available in a wide range of subjects, including photography, creative writing, and rural teacher education. After a BC government assessment committee in fall 1983 approved the continuation of the province’s only “university centre,” the government reversed course following the collapse of the November 1983 public sector general strike which had been widely supported in the West Kootenay. DTUC was ordered to close May 1, 1984. “A couple of former fellow DTUC writing students approached me this past summer about a reunion,” said DTUC reunion committee member Calvin Wharton, retired head of Douglas College’s creative writing department. “We contacted some other For brand new puzzles by email, sign up at www.ClassiCanadianXwords.ca Keep Cool 18 Where to find London or Paris: Abbr. 22 Muttered agreement 25 Swedish band First ___ Kit 27 Like an mad hen, idiomatically 28 “I didn’t ___ be born”(teen’s retort) 29 Shoulder wrap 30 Flavourful 32 Fixes what ain’t broke? 33 Slangy “ticket,” from an old coin name 34 Gestating, after “in” 35 “To whom ___ concern” 37 Noble title in France 38 Busy season in Vieux-Québec 40 Cdn. armchair athlete’s chan. 41 Water___ (dental brand) Barbara Olson © ClassiCanadian Crosswords December 6 43 Wallop with a paddle 46 Sault Ste.

DTUC people, who were enthusiastic about a gathering of everyone who was involved with the school. We have a list of questions to help determine when in the year most people would be willing to come to Nelson for the event, and what sort of programming they’d like to see.” Wharton said 2023 was picked for the reunion in the hope that pandemic restrictions will be fully lifted by then to allow an in-person event. “We’re also interested in contact information people may have for anyone who participated in the life of the institution,” he said. He noted that 2021 is 37 years since DTUC was shuttered, so spreading the word about the reunion is a challenge. “Personally, I’ve always considered DTUC a magical experiment because it reached outside traditional academia and arts education,” said Verna Relkoff, DTUC reunion committee member and former head of the Kootenay School of the Arts’ creative writing department. “DTUC was a brief fusion of the two that had extraordinary energy. It was years ahead of its time.” Fighting for freedom with fashion For All Your Currency Exchange Needs kootenay currency exchange $ Calvin Wharton Thank you for Shopping locally in your Pennywise!

Fighting for freedom with fashion “Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.”- Martin Luther King Jr. Every 30 seconds, another person becomes a victim of human trafficking. Although slavery was abolished 150 years ago, today there are more people in slavery than at any other time in history. Human trafficking is the illegal trade of humans against their will for the purpose of sexual exploitation, forced labor, or modern-day slavery. Human trafficking is a world-wide problem: it exists anywhere there are vulnerable humans and criminals to profit off them as a commodity. Pope Francis so accurately said, “Human Trafficking is crime against all humanity. We must unite our efforts to free victims and stop this crime that’s becoming ever more aggressive, that threatens not just individuals, but the foundational values of society.” The problem is tragic and real, and human trafficking is a $150 billion dollar industry. As Canadians, we are not immune to the threat of this licentiousness. efined by law as “transporting of persons across borders together the recruitment, harbouring and/or exercising control, direction or influence over the movements of a person in order to exploit, typically through sexual exploitation or forced labour described as a modern form of slavery.” Between 2009 and 2018, there have been close to two thousand cases of human trafficking in Canada. This pressing public health concern transcends all races, social classes, demographics, and gender. The time for action is now. Programs like Dressember allow for everyone to take part in finding solutions through awareness. The collective vision for Dressember is a world in that all people are free. Dressember is greater than just an awareness campaign. Participants join a global movement of over 32,000 advocates worldwide to provide essential support to human trafficking survivors around the globe. Students at Seven Summits Centre for Learning choose to take part in Dressember because they believe in the inherent dignity of all people. The proceeds from this campaign go to provide essential support to trafficking 2 FOR FOR 1 Frames & Lenses or 40% OFF 1 Pair* survivors around the world.

IS BACK MEETING REGULARLY after their Covid 19 shut-down of 20 months! During the shut-down the Gyro Club was able to complete the upgrade to the Gyro Park playground with the help of Nelson Home Hardware, The City of Nelson and Nelson Public Works employees. The old playground had reached the end of its lifespan and the club expects the new gear to entertain kids in the park for many years to come. The Nelson Gyro Club continues to work behind the scenes around our community helping out with our park as well as the Nelson Izu-shi Friendship Park at Cottonwood Falls along with our LVR Scholarship Fund, Meals on Wheels, The Salvation Army Kettle Appeal, Nelson Community Food Cupboard and Nelson Friends of the Family.
