Communities Prepare<br />

Whether residents need shelter from intense heat, or emergency<br />

personnel need to communicate during disasters,<br />

communities must prepare to cope with extreme events like<br />

wildfires and floods. Ten projects are helping to ensure that<br />

locations within the Columbia Basin are well equipped to do so,<br />

with support from Columbia Basin Trust.<br />

“Basin residents have emphasized the need for their communities<br />

to become more climate resilient,” said Will Nixon, Senior<br />

Manager, Delivery of Benefits, Columbia Basin Trust. “We’re<br />

supporting these communities to be better prepared for events<br />

like wildfire or extreme weather. These projects will provide<br />

more resources so we can all face the future more confidently.”<br />

In addition to the 13 projects supported in fall 2021, the Trust<br />

is providing nearly $2 million to help communities strengthen<br />

their emergency operations centres and create emergency<br />

gathering spaces for residents, with access to necessities like<br />

power, filtered air, air conditioning, emergency equipment and<br />

Enjoy Peace<br />

and Harmony<br />

this Holiday<br />

Season<br />

emergency supplies.<br />

To view the projects, go to www.tinyurl.com/5n8m5dm4<br />

Here are a few examples:<br />

Nakusp<br />

The auditorium in the Nakusp and District Sports Complex<br />

can accommodate up to 600 people during emergency events.<br />

To serve them even better, the Village of Nakusp is installing a<br />

heating, ventilation and air conditioning system in the building,<br />

plus purchasing a backup generator.<br />

“This project will enhance the resiliency of all communities in<br />

the Upper Arrow Lakes area, which are at risk from the impacts<br />

of climate change,” said Noel Ballard, FireSmart/Emergency<br />

Program Coordinator. “It will provide a greater sense of security<br />

to members of these communities since they’ll know that<br />

there will be a safe place of refuge for them if they require one.”<br />

Ymir<br />

Built in the <strong>19</strong>50s, the Ymir Community Hall is undergoing<br />

Home Goods Furniture will be<br />

Closed <strong>Dec</strong>ember 25 and 26<br />

to allow our staff some rest and<br />

family time this Christmas.<br />

several enhancements to ensure it can aid the public in emergencies<br />

like forest fires, severe weather and floods. The Ymir<br />

Community Association is improving lighting and accessibility<br />

and adding a backup generator, WiFi and a heating, ventilation<br />

and air conditioning system.<br />

“With these much-needed upgrades to our community hall,<br />

we will be able to provide a safe and dependable space for the<br />

people of Ymir,” said Tamara Rushforth, Treasurer. “This main<br />

building of Ymir is greatly needed for emergencies of any kind,<br />

elections and celebrations. It is very important for all the residents<br />

that they have a place to go in case of any situation.”<br />

The Trust integrates climate resilience throughout its work.<br />

For example, it offers an overarching program to help communities<br />

prepare for, respond to and adapt to challenges associated<br />

with the changing environment, plus more targeted programs<br />

like ones to reduce the risk of wildfires or do energy retrofits on<br />

community-purpose buildings. Learn more at www.ourtrust.<br />

Coldest Night of the Year<br />

With the holiday season fast approaching we will be spending<br />

time with our family, friends, and co-workers, this is the<br />

perfect time to start your Coldest Night of the Year (CNOY)<br />

fundraising team.<br />

Nelson CARES Society is thrilled to be hosting the 9th<br />

annual Coldest Night of the Year on Saturday, Feb 25th. This<br />

family-friendly walk raises funds for the Ready for Home program<br />

which operates out of Ward Street Place and helps residents<br />

remain housed and navigate the myriad of social support<br />

resources required to achieve a quality of life.<br />

This year the event will be returning to an in-person event.<br />

The community will gather at Central (Wildflower) school<br />

for either a 2km or 5km walk around town to finish at St. Joe’s<br />

Gym for a warm bowl of chili. With this return to an in-person<br />

event, there will be numerous volunteer positions from event<br />

site setup, teardown, food service, and route safety marshals.<br />

Nelson CARES invites you to create<br />

a CNOY team with your friends, family,<br />

co-workers, book clubs, gy- goers,<br />

choir, or classmates. It is a great way<br />

to gather for the good, raise some<br />

funds and support the community.<br />

Tens of thousands of Canadians<br />

will take to the streets for CNOY<br />

with events taking place in 150 cities,<br />

towns, and communities across<br />

the country. By walking together in<br />

the chill of the night, participants<br />

will better understand the experience<br />

of being on the streets during a cold<br />

Canadian winter, while raising funds<br />

to aid the work of Nelson CARES and<br />

the Ready for Home program in providing<br />

much-needed support.<br />

The funds raised here stay in this<br />

community to support our most vulnerable<br />

citizens. Nelson always shines<br />

bright, and we smash our fundraising<br />

St. Saviour’s Fundraising<br />

The holiday season is truly upon us but<br />

sometimes the money doesn’t make it to the<br />

end of the month, especially this month. For<br />

over two decades the St. Saviour’s Food Pantry<br />

has been there to help folks in need<br />

A 2023 calendar has been created as a fundraising<br />

initiative for the Food Pantry and is<br />

available around town and from St. Saviour’s<br />

at 701 Ward Street. Nora Nitz, Food Pantry<br />

Manager shares “We would like to thank the<br />

artists whose work brings this calendar to<br />

life, as well as Hall Printing for their expertise.<br />

We are 100% volunteer run and couldn’t<br />

operate without their gift of time. Our clients<br />

who always enrich our lives and our many<br />

benefactors make this all possible. Served<br />

with respect and dignity, every client is able<br />

to choose what they put in their own bags and<br />

then sit for a while with a coffee and baked<br />

treat. Conversations, laughter and a sense of<br />

community fill the room. We’ve hosted parties<br />

and wakes, celebrations of all sorts in our<br />

space. Thank you.<br />

In 2000 the Food Pantry opened its doors<br />

to the public for the first time, working out of<br />

an office closet, and without any advertising<br />

eight people came that day. Over the years so<br />

many more have come into the space, no longer<br />

a closet, to access food, have a coffee and<br />

chat with friends and neighbours<br />

The calendars will be available<br />

at Otter Books, Ellison’s<br />

Market, Nelson Museum,<br />

will go directly to support the<br />

work of the St. Saviour’s Food<br />

Pantry. If you would like to<br />

make a cash donation to St.<br />

Saviour’s Pro-Cathedral to<br />

support the Food Pantry (put<br />

‘Food Pantry’ in the memo<br />

line of the cheque) or donate<br />

a package of fresh food on<br />

any Friday at 8:30 before we<br />

Update on Habitat for Humanity<br />

Things are taking shape for the Habitat for Humanity Southeast<br />

BC (HFHSEBC) 4 family Multiplex build project located at<br />

560 8th Street in <strong>Castlegar</strong>.<br />

Thanks to the support from the people of <strong>Castlegar</strong> and area<br />

along with the overwhelming generosity of local businesses, the<br />

campaign for funds, materials, and volunteers is going well. As of<br />

right now, the completion date and possession of the new homes<br />

for Habitat partner families looks to be near the end of March<br />

2023 “We still need support from individuals and companies to<br />

help us build these much-needed homes for deserving Habitat<br />

for Humanity partner families,” says Neil Coburn Board Chair<br />

for Habitat Southeast BC. “The momentum is just getting started<br />

as we will soon welcome teams of corporate and service club<br />

members on-site to help in the building of these homes”.<br />

“Our priority continues to be the campaign for funds and<br />

donated materials & services. But equally important is the search<br />

for our new Habitat Partner families,” said Coburn. Right now,<br />

the focus for this Habitat for Humanity Southeast BC build is<br />

on finding families who currently live within the <strong>Castlegar</strong> and<br />

surrounding area and have demonstrated needs for the housing<br />

HFHSEBC can provide.<br />

HFHSEBC welcome applications from families who might not<br />

be able to afford a conventional mortgage, but through our selection<br />

process, may qualify for one of our 4 family homes - one of<br />

which is fully accessible for a family with a person(s) with mobility<br />

issues. This build, in partnership with the City of <strong>Castlegar</strong><br />

and funded through core support from CMHC, Columbia Basin<br />

Trust, and BC Housing is just the start of a renewed commitment<br />

by HFHSEBC to build affordable homes throughout the Kootenay/Boundary<br />

region.<br />

Habitat for Humanity believes that access to affordable housing<br />

Invasive Mussel Free in 2022<br />

Lake monitoring continues<br />

to be a vital component<br />

of the B.C. Invasive<br />

Mussel Defence Program.<br />

Between mid-June and<br />

the end of October staff<br />

and contractors from the<br />

Central Kootenay Invasive<br />

Species Society (CKISS)<br />

collected 265 samples<br />

from local lakes and rivers<br />

in order to detect the presence<br />

of invasive zebra and<br />

quagga mussels (Dreissena<br />

polymorpha and Dreissena rostriformis bugenis).<br />

The sampling results recently came back from a B.C. Government<br />

designated lab with good news! All samples tested negative<br />

for the presence of these invasive mussels. This is good news<br />

considering invasive mussels may be impossible to eradicate once<br />

established in a waterbody. This is the tenth year in a row the<br />

CKISS has been conducting lake motioning in the Central Kootenays.<br />

In 2022, samples were taken from Upper and Lower Arrow,<br />

Kootenay, Duncan, <strong>Slocan</strong>, Summit, and Whatshan Lakes, and<br />

Columbia, Kootenay, and <strong>Slocan</strong> Rivers (upper and lower).<br />

The introduction of zebra and quagga mussels (ZQM) could<br />

have devastating environmental, economic, and social impacts in<br />

the Kootenay region and other regions in BC. ZQM can displace<br />

native aquatic plants & wildlife, reducing biodiversity & ecosystem<br />

health. Furthermore, invasive mussels can affect summer fun<br />

by covering once beautiful beaches in foul-smelling, razor-sharp<br />

shells.<br />

ZQM are unique because they have the ability to attach to<br />

hard surfaces and can survive for multiple weeks out of the<br />

water. These characteristics mean they can easily be moved<br />

between waterbodies, which emphasizes the need to Clean<br />

Drain Dry boats and other watercraft/equipment when exiting<br />

all waterbodies. The CKISS stresses the need to take action<br />

through prevention to protect our waters as there is no turning<br />

back the clock on a zebra and quagga mussel invasion. If you<br />

are bringing your motorized or non-motorized watercraft into<br />

BC, please contact the B.C. Invasive Mussel Defence Program<br />

(www.gov.bc.ca/invasivemussels) to determine if your boat is<br />

high-risk and should be inspection and potentially decontaminated<br />

before accessing BC’s lakes and rivers.<br />

Watch for Mistletoe!<br />

According to custom, if you’re caught<br />

standing under the mistletoe, you may<br />

get a kiss. For centuries, mistletoe has<br />

been considered a plant that increases<br />

life and fertility. Celtic Druids living in<br />

the 1st century A.D. viewed it as a symbol<br />

of vivacity, since it remained green<br />

while other plants were bare during<br />

winter. Some historians believe the connection<br />

between mistletoe and a kiss<br />

comes from ancient Norse mythology.<br />

According to happier versions of the legend,<br />

Baldur (sometimes spelled Baldr or<br />

Balder) was killed by an enemy’s arrow<br />

made of mistletoe. His mother, the goddess<br />

Frigg, wept tears onto the arrow.<br />

Her tears turned into white berries that she placed onto Baldur’s<br />

wound, bringing him back to life. Overjoyed, Frigg blessed the<br />

mistletoe plant and promised a kiss to all who passed beneath it.<br />

So what, exactly, is mistletoe? The far-from-romantic answer<br />

is that it’s a parasitic plant, which means it depends on another<br />

plant for survival. Mistletoe can only grow if its seeds are carried<br />

to a “host” tree by birds that have eaten mistletoe berries. Typically,<br />

a bird will squeeze a mistletoe berry in its beak, squishing out<br />

a sticky, coated seed. The bird eats the fruit and cleans the sticky<br />

coating, called “viscin,” off its beak by wiping it against a nearby<br />

branch. As the viscin hardens, the seed becomes firmly attached<br />

to the host tree.<br />

The mistletoe then invades the host, “stealing” nutrients and<br />

water from it. In fact, the scientific name for American mistletoe<br />

(Phoradendron) is Greek for “thief of the tree.”<br />

More fun facts about mistletoe:<br />

• Birds can eat mistletoe berries, but they’re highly toxic to<br />

humans.<br />

• Approximately 20 species of mistletoe can be found on the<br />

endangered species list.<br />

• Celtic Druids believed that mistletoe contained the spirit of<br />

the tree in which it grew; this was the only part of the tree that<br />

stayed green all winter.<br />

Non-Profits Modernize Technology<br />

91 organizations get support from Trust<br />

The list of non-profit organizations across the Columbia Basin<br />

that will soon be benefiting from new technology is long. Ninety-one<br />

groups are purchasing equipment that will improve their<br />

operations and help them continue to deliver vital services. The<br />

projects are being done with support from Columbia Basin Trust.<br />

“People in the region rely on non-profits for so many reasons—<br />

to help the vulnerable, to provide emergency services, to increase<br />

opportunities for youth, to just name a few,” said Justine Cohen,<br />

Manager, Delivery of Benefits, Columbia Basin Trust. “Up-todate<br />

technology helps them do their jobs better, widely benefiting<br />

many.” The groups are purchasing and installing items like desktop<br />

and laptop computers, tablets, software, servers, photocopiers<br />

and scanners. The Trust’s total contribution is nearly $675,000.<br />

Here are a few of the recipients:<br />

Arrow Lakes Search and Rescue Society<br />

Based in Nakusp, the Arrow Lakes Search and Rescue Society is<br />

purchasing various pieces of technology that will help it continue<br />

to provide emergency services throughout the area. This includes<br />

computers, monitors, mice, a television and a subscription to<br />

SARtopo software.<br />

“Technology is becoming increasingly important in all aspects<br />

of search and rescue, from real-time location data to network<br />

communication,” said Daniel Abraham, Vice-President. “These<br />

items will enable our operations managers to efficiently deploy<br />

our resources and monitor their status, and they will greatly assist<br />

us in keeping our response efforts fast and effective. Additionally,<br />

they will help bring us up to the regional technology standard<br />

utilized by other Kootenay search and rescue groups, vital for<br />

mutual operations.”<br />

Circle of Indigenous Nations Society<br />

The Circle of Indigenous Nations Society is upgrading its<br />

website to Wordpress software, which will modernize the user<br />

experience, improve the security of the site and enhance privacy<br />

through data encryption. This will help the society better serve<br />

people in the West Kootenay as it provides programs rooted in<br />

Indigenous practices, such as Aboriginal Family Services and<br />

Aboriginal Community Wellness.<br />

“The COINS website is a key channel for us to put out information<br />

and for clients and the general public to connect with<br />

our staff and programs,” said Kris Salikin, Executive Director.<br />

“Optimizing our site is an important step in our organization’s<br />

development.”<br />

Kootenay Livestock Association<br />

In its aim to strengthen and promote the agriculture industry in<br />

the region, the Kootenay Livestock Association (KLA) is purchasing<br />

a laptop, wireless keyboard and wireless mouse, to be used by<br />

its office administrator; a phone for conference calls, to be used<br />

by staff, program coordinators and committee members; and a<br />

projector that will be used to deliver programs and presentations.<br />

“With this support, the KLA will enhance how we connect with<br />

agriculture producers throughout the region,” said Tanya Molle,<br />

Administrator. “Incorporating new tech into the KLA will help us<br />

to improve the accessibility, variety and frequency of KLA programs<br />

and initiatives.”<br />

Lardeau <strong>Valley</strong> Opportunity LINKS Society<br />

To make it even easier to live and thrive in the area, the Lardeau<br />

<strong>Valley</strong> Opportunity LINKS Society connects individuals, businesses<br />

and other groups and organizations in the Lardeau <strong>Valley</strong>,<br />

including serving as an information and communications hub. It<br />

is purchasing various technological products and services, as well<br />

as redesigning its community website and creating an interactive<br />

digital map of the area.<br />

“Not only have we been able to purchase various hardware and<br />

software subscriptions to increase our efficiency, but we are also<br />

very excited for the opportunity to rebuild the community website,”<br />

said Chelsey Jones, Executive Director. “The vision for the<br />

new website is to effectively serve residents and visitors as a hub of<br />

information and a modern tool for coordination and information<br />

sharing in the Lardeau <strong>Valley</strong>. It will have more basic function<br />

than the current website, and it will also benefit from the creative<br />

contributions of local photographers, artists and designers to<br />

truly reflect the beauty and talent in the Lardeau <strong>Valley</strong>.”<br />
