Most Kootenay residents are familiar with the brilliant red color that the kokanee salmon turn in the fall when they are spawning in creeks and rivers in the area.

A federal election looms in 2019. One year can make a huge difference, I know, yet I'm close to one-hundred-percent sure I cannot cast a ballot for one of the three major parties.
Liberals failed to come close to our expectations when Justin got elected. He has shown himself a miserable lightweight, a poseur who knows how to project...
