PEACE DANCE<br />

Selkirk Mountain Music Festival<br />

presents PEACE DANCE,<br />

Saturday <strong>April</strong> 20, 7pm - 9:30pm.<br />

Join musician Steve Marc, DJ<br />

Jazzy Jo and musician Marty<br />

Carter for a Peace Dance in The<br />

Griff. An All Ages Event.<br />

“Peace is not something you<br />

wish for, it is something you<br />

make, something you are, something<br />

you do and something you<br />

give away.” Robert Fulghum<br />

What is a Peace Dance? Peace Dances are performances<br />

with intention; the intention of gathering in peace, to spread<br />

peace by being and advocating for peace. This world is experiencing<br />

a tumultuous time, not only overseas in the warring<br />

countries but also right here in our own communities.<br />

Steve Marc brings dancy reggae/calypso grooves and<br />

uplifting/healing vibes with a mission to bring out your inner<br />

peace and spread it throughout the region and beyond. Steve<br />

brings you together to celebrate our interconnectedness, our<br />

colville<br />

509-684-2584<br />

colvillemonument.com<br />

symbiotic relationships with each other, and our environment<br />

through music and dance.<br />

Opening the show, Marty Carter is a singer and multi-instrumentalist<br />

(Saxophone, Flute, 12 String Guitar, Keyboards,<br />

EWI Electric Wind Instrument) who enjoys Art Rock, Reggae<br />

and Blues. He has performed across Western Canada for<br />

the last 35 years and loves to co-create spontaneous moments<br />

of joy.<br />

Closing the show we have DJ Jazzy Jo, who loves disco,<br />

funk, soul and more. From Northern Soul to rare Disco, Jazzy<br />

Jo loves it all. Expect an uplifting, funky, danceable set from<br />

a vibrant Rossland DJ you might know from her local Dance<br />

It Out events and more.<br />

Everyone is welcomed to join. To be is to do. To be peace is<br />

to spread peace. Individually, one by one, one dance step at a<br />

time; let us be the peace that we want to see and spread it far<br />

and wide. Let’s make the world a better place through music<br />

and dance together, as one, because we are.<br />

“When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the<br />

world will have peace” Jimi Hendrix<br />

Beat the Climate Blues<br />

Whether it be the skyrocketing daily costs of daily essentials<br />

or the constant media messaging about how doomed we<br />

are, it is hard to beat the climate blues these days. Are there<br />

any affordable, practical solutions that actually make a difference?<br />

The West Kootenay Climate Hub and the Nelson Public<br />

Library are teaming up to offer an evening of exploration into<br />

that very question.<br />

During this program, the community will be invited to<br />

explore three different tools that can make a positive impact<br />

on our environment: heat pumps, electrical vehicles and<br />

renewable energy. Participants are encouraged to bring any<br />

Season Closes<br />

<strong>April</strong> 16, 2024<br />

Selkirk Snowcat Skiing will cease annual operations<br />

<strong>April</strong> 16th and ski area signs will be removed. Until then,<br />

we will be operating 7 days a week and you may encounter<br />

snowcats or skiers at any time. Please exercise caution when<br />

riding the forestry road.<br />

Thanks for respecting our ski area signage. Compliance<br />

is critical to the safety of our employees, guests and other<br />

backcountry enthusiasts.<br />

Thank you for a safe and successful winter.<br />

questions or curiosities they might have about these technologies.<br />

The workshop will be held at the Nelson Public Library<br />

on Wednesday, <strong>April</strong> 10 from 7 to 8:30pm.<br />

“There’s still a lot of confusion and misinformation about<br />

climate change, some being intentionally spread by those<br />

wanting to delay solutions. It can be challenging to figure out,”<br />

says Laura Sacks, who is helping to lead the program. “We look<br />

forward to providing an interactive and open space to explore<br />

this topic.”<br />

Sacks is a cofounder and coordinator with the West Kootenay<br />

Climate Hub. She is a trained Climate Reality Leader and<br />

is the 2019 recipient of the Suzie Hamilton Legacy Award. The<br />

Nelson Library is committed to climate programming as<br />

a reflection of one of their strategic plan values. To register<br />

for the free event, please email mstorey@nelson.ca. Limited<br />

latest work and an array of sweets, savouries, soup and buns,<br />

Apple & Nina! They would be ok to be rehomed separately but<br />

it’s always lovely to have a pair go together. Apple is a shy senior<br />

looking for a chance at a new retirement home to spend her<br />

golden years. She can be fearful at first so needs time and patience<br />

to allow her to come around at her own pace in her new home.<br />

Being older, she is not a super active and playful cat but she has<br />

a lot of love to give once she’s comfortable. Nina is a beautiful<br />

muted Torti who loves pets, Nina is a bit braver and warms up a<br />

little faster. She has an adorable, cute, squeaky meow that will just<br />

warm your heart to hear. Both her and her sister Apple are 13 yrs<br />

old and spayed. Both would do well in a quiet home.<br />

New International Study Process<br />

Selkirk College will continue welcoming learners from<br />

across the world after the federal government’s recent decision<br />

to cap international study permit applications.<br />

In response to the new federal requirement, the Ministry of<br />

Post-Secondary Education & Future Skills has provided individual<br />

colleges and universities across BC an allocation of provincial<br />

attestation letters. These letters are now a mandatory<br />

requirement when students apply for study permits through<br />

Immigration, Refugees & Citizenship Canada (IRCC). For a<br />

one-year period ending January 21, 2025, Selkirk College will<br />

be issued 857 provincial attestation letters to help the institution<br />

manage the numbers of prospective incoming students.<br />

“International learners are an integral part of our college<br />

community and this clarity in the process allows us to move<br />

forward in making sure it stays that way,” says Taya Whitehead,<br />

the college’s Vice President of Education & Students. “We<br />

understand there’s been uncertainty for both current and prospective<br />

international students. Now that we know our allocation,<br />

we can continue international planning and recruitment<br />

that serves our students and communities so well.”<br />

On January 22, 2024, Minister of Immigration, Refugees<br />

& Citizenship Canada Marc Miller announced a nationwide<br />

intake cap on international study permit applications for two<br />

years. Citing pressures on housing, health care and other services<br />

due to increases in international student numbers across<br />

Canada, the federal government imposed the measures with<br />

a goal of decreasing study permits by 35 per cent from 2023.<br />

Post-secondary education is a provincial responsibility, and<br />

each province has received an allocation of study permits<br />

from the federal government to ensure that the national cap<br />

isn’t exceeded. Since the January announcement, the Ministry<br />

of Post-Secondary Education & Future Skills has been working<br />

on a system that fairly distributes BC’s allocated attestation<br />

letters across its public colleges, private colleges and<br />

universities.<br />

The province sends an attestation letter to the institution<br />

upon receipt of a student application, then the institution<br />

sends it to the international applicant. The letter will prove the<br />

applicant has been accounted for within the cap set by the federal<br />

government. Applicants then will submit the attestation<br />

letter along with their study permit application. Institutions<br />

that use their full allocation will not be able to submit more<br />

Arnold Hyrve<br />

Arnold Hyrve, beloved<br />

husband of Winnie<br />

Hyrve (nee Nolan),<br />

of Calgary, AB, passed<br />

away on Thursday,<br />

March 21, 2024, at the<br />

age of 91 years.<br />

Arnold spent his working career in the oil and<br />

gas industry. When he retired, Arnold’s love of<br />

fishing, the mountains, and golf drew him to<br />

Kaslo, BC. Arnold and Winnie spent their summers<br />

there for over thirty years. Arnold enjoyed<br />

his friends, of which there were many, and he<br />

loved them dearly. He enjoyed a good joke and<br />

was the life of the party. He knew how to tell<br />

a story and had many life experiences to share.<br />

He leaves behind his loving wife, Winnie, whom<br />

he adored, his sister, Marilyn Greenwood, his<br />

daughters, Louise Conaty (Bob), Kari Beukema<br />

(Peter), and Janine O’Hara (Paul); as well as<br />

eight grandchildren, six great-grandchildren, and<br />

many nieces and nephews. We miss his presence<br />

in our lives already and we cherish the memories<br />

we made together.<br />

Condolences, memories, and photos may be<br />

shared and viewed with Arnold’s family at<br />

www.MHFH.com.<br />

In living memory of Arnold Hyrve, a tree will be<br />

planted in the Ann & Sandy Cross Conservation<br />

Area by McInnis & Holloway Funeral Homes.<br />

Attend a Resident Input Meeting to learn about the projects applying for funding<br />

this year and to ask questions. Visit rdck.ca/ReDi for details or contact the<br />

Grants Coordinator at grants@rdck.bc.ca or 250.352.8170<br />

applications until a new allocation is issued by the federal government<br />

for the following year.<br />

“We are grateful to both the provincial ministry and our<br />

own Registrar’s Office team for the work that has been done<br />

to get us to this point,” says Whitehead. “Over the last decade,<br />

the Selkirk College community has embraced the wonderful<br />

diversity that learners from all corners of the globe bring<br />

to our region. In turn, we’re proud to provide foundational<br />

education, career-ready programs, wraparound services and<br />

student life opportunities.” In 2023, Selkirk College had 762<br />

full-time international learners enrolled in programs that<br />

range from one to four years. When making their choice to<br />

study in Canada, some students apply to several different<br />

schools which means that not all end up at Selkirk College.<br />

With a fixed number of provincial attestation letters now part<br />

of the recruitment process, the college will need to ensure that<br />

its offers are directed towards students with a high likelihood<br />

of accepting them.<br />

“Selkirk College has an excellent reputation with international<br />

recruiting agents and newcomers who complete their<br />

education in our region,” says Whitehead. “We expect some<br />

impact on our overall international numbers due to this attestation<br />

letter process. But the Selkirk International team will<br />

continue to work with prospective students who want to experience<br />

both the beauty of rural British Columbia and the educational<br />

opportunities that serve them so well.”<br />

Horse/Car Safety<br />

This year, Kaslo Riding Club is embarking on a PASS WIDE<br />

& SLOW campaign to raise awareness and educate riders and<br />

other road users on safe practices to avoid dangerous and<br />

potentially life taking accidents. We hope that others will join<br />

in and help us spread the word! In the wild, a horse is a ‘prey’<br />

animal, that is they are “dinner” and have therefore developed<br />

a fright/flight response to anything that scares or startles them<br />

(known as spooking). A horse’s natural response to something<br />

that spooks them is to run, kick out, spin and look.<br />

No matter how well they are trained, occasionally nature<br />

takes over.<br />

A HORSE CAN SPOOK SIDEWAYS AT UP TO 80 km/hr.<br />

A horse can accelerate 0-50 km/h in less time than many vehicles.<br />

A horse’s back legs can kick out a surprisingly long way.<br />

So.... GIVE 2 METRES WIDTH WHERE POSSIBLE.<br />

Driver Tips on how to share the road safely with horses<br />

1. As you get close to horses & riders, SLOW DOWN<br />

(15km/h)<br />

2. PASS WIDE: give horses a wide berth: at least 2m (6’/a<br />

car’s width) where possible.<br />

3. Brake and accelerate gently so you avoid extra noise or<br />

gravel spray.<br />

4. Avoid loud sounds - loud music, honking or yelling<br />

spooks horses.<br />

5. Don’t throw things out of the window (because, hey that<br />

would also make you a litterbug.<br />

6. If the horse is acting skittishly, then wait for the rider to<br />

get things under control or themselves out of the way, before<br />

you pass.<br />

7. Once you’re past the horse and rider, accelerate gradually.<br />

* Please look at the rider. If they’re asking you to stop or<br />

slow, they’re doing it for a reason (they are NOT waving!)<br />

Motorcyles/scooters/e-bikes:<br />

Pass wide and slow in single file. Horses are prey animals<br />

and can panic if they see a “pack.”<br />

Bikers, please don’t rev your engine.<br />

Cyclists and joggers<br />

Cyclists, please speak up - say ‘hello’, if you are approaching<br />

from behind, a voice is less scary.<br />

Rider Tips<br />

If you ride horses and you’re travelling on a road, be aware<br />

that under the Motor Vehicle Act (Part 3), Section 120, “a person<br />

riding an animal or driving an animal driven vehicle on a<br />

highway has the rights and is subject to the duties of the driver<br />

of a vehicle.” Stay safe and be sure that:<br />

1. Your horse is ready and steady for riding on roads where<br />

there’s traffic.<br />

2. You and your horse are highly visible <strong>–</strong> you can wear a<br />

reflective vest; your steed can wear bright or high-visibility leg<br />

bands, tail guard, bridle straps or hindquarter rug.<br />

3. You obey all laws and signage.<br />

4. You avoid riding on roads in poor visibility like darkness,<br />

dusk, dawn, fog, rain or snow.<br />

5. You stay calm at all times, so your horse knows that everything<br />

is a-okay.<br />
