CKISS seeking volunteers The Central Kootenay Invasive Species Society (CKISS) is seeking volunteers to join the fight against aquatic invasive species in the Central Kootenay region. A new community science monitoring initiative has been launched by CKISS with support from the Living Lakes Canada’s National Lake Blitz program in 2022 with the goal to prevent the introduction and spread of invasive mussels, clams and plants into Kootenay Lake and beyond. The organization is currently seeking community members who own private docks in Area A, D and E of Kootenay Lake to help monitor for invasive zebra and quagga mussels (Dreissena polymorpha and Dresissena bugenis). Volunteers will receive two assembled mussel monitors to attach to their docks and be required to check them throughout the summer and fall of 2022. Wondering if your private dock is eligible for mussel monitoring? Visit www. ckiss.ca/action/ volunteer for a map of eligible areas. Early detection of invasive mussels is critical because they have negative impacts on biodiversity, water quality, recreation, fisheries, and species at risk. Congratulate the Grads of 2022 Be a sponsor of the Kaslo Grad edition Businesses & families are invited to participate Deadline June 3 for the June 13 edition. Just $48 +GST Contact Larissa: larissa@pennywiseads.com office: 250-353-2602 In Loving Memory Anna (Andula) Zach October 31, 1931 - June 5, 2021 The mussels can damage infrastructure such as lakefront property, hydropower facilities and municipal water supply facilities. In addition, the CKISS is seeking volunteers who are interested in learning to identify and prevent aquatic invasive species, such as Asian clams (Corbicula fluminea) and invasive plants, like yellow flag iris (Iris pseudacorus). and purple loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria) through shoreline surveys on Kootenay Lake. Positions will run during the fall of 2022. Asian clams are a concern because they can clog water treatment systems, contaminate drinking water, and negatively alter aquatic ecosystems by competing with native species for food and habitat. Invasive plants like yellow flag iris and purple loosestrife can reduce biodiversity. They lack natural predators and can out compete native species for space and resources. CKISS will offer training, resources and equipment for all the Photo: Jesse Schpakowski Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital emergency department nurses: Jane Carlton, Tamara Roscoe, Teresa Myers, and Emily Larochelle. Opioid use disorder (OUD) is a treatable medical condition. And, yet, many people living with OUD don’t have a regular care provider who can help connect them to medication. For many, their first exposure to treatment is through an emergency department (ED). Given the increasing number of toxic drug deaths across BC – 2,224 in 2021 according to the BC Coroner’s Service – Interior Health’s Emergency Services and Mental Health and Substance Use networks partnered in June 2021 to connect people experiencing opioid use disorder with Suboxone in emergency departments. Suboxone is an Opioid Agonist Treatment (OAT) medication used to treat OUD. DOWNLOAD TO WIN OUR TIPS volunteers, all they ask is that you sign up by visiting www.ckiss. ca/action/volunteer. “Volunteers play a vital role at CKISS, we are always happy to receive a helping hand in collecting data that will support local conservation issues”, states Laurie Frankcom, education program coordinator CKISS. For more information on CKISS, contact Laurie Carr, Central Kootenay Invasive Species Society, at 844.352.1160 ext. 210 or lcarr@ckiss.ca. YOUR TRIPS CKISS The project includes offering Suboxone “to-go packs” to start patients at home and a new urgent referral process to connect people to ongoing OAT in the community. In May, Suboxone in the ED was introduced in hospitals throughout the West Kootenay, including the Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital in Trail, the Castlegar and District Community Health Centre, and the Kootenay Lake Hospital in Nelson. All sites will be included by September 2022. Having Suboxone available in EDs has decreased barriers to accessing OAT in communities by providing frontline nurses and physicians with the necessary training to prescribe the treatment, and by helping educate patients on how to start it themselves at home.
