Dear Minister Heyman,
On behalf of the City of Rossland’s council, I am writing to you to express our support for dissolving the Jumbo Glacier Resort Municipality. The recent Court of Appeals ruling stating that no significant progress has been made on the development has given the Province a golden opportunity to re-assess the project and make some common-sense...

In the lead up to the 2019 federal election MP Wayne Stetski talks a good line on climate change, but can we rely on him to oppose BC minority NDP and federal Liberal government fossil fuel expansion policies?
When Burnaby-South NDP MP Kennedy Stewart was arrested alongside Green Party Leader Elizabeth May, in opposition to the...

Wish: federal parties' political hierarchies take first steps towards a cross-party climate ”war cabinet”, as suggested in the Green Party’s "Mission Possible”.

To The Editor:
I recently heard the difficulties of corner stores are experiencing in our city — some unable to keep doors open due to lack of business.
Is it cost of goods or availability of product or the lack of information to the surrounding blocks of the availability of service?
Rosemont grocery recently closed and I am concerned we may lose...

The current humanitarian crisis of migrants and refugees seems overwhelming. The sheer scale of the challenge leaves many feeling disempowered, sometimes resorting to racism or xenophobia.
This is only the beginning.
The best evidence suggests the climate crisis will continue to exacerbate the humanitarian crisis--as if an image of a drowned young father and infant daughter isn't...

To The Editor:
Denmark recently had an election, prior to which 1.2 percent of the population called for a more aggressive response to the climate emergency. Danes now have a government that has strengthened its 2030 target to reduce carbon emissions by 70% below the 1990 level.
Canada's pitiful target is 30% below 2005 levels by 2030.

Dear Editor,
I have read and shared a number of posts regarding the archaic and controversial speaker at an evangelical event. I don't regret sharing my opinion, at all, for the longest time Castlegar remained relatively silent on a number of issues.

I love being a Councillor. To be involved in decisions that are bigger than myself is a humbling experience. The City Staff (Chris, Lucas, Tracey, Nicole & David) have been so welcoming and Bruno has been nothing but kind and supportive every step of the way. I have learned so much from my fellow councillors: Dan with his cool and collected approach, always makes a calm rational...
