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.
Well, that has changed.

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...

When I arrived in Nelson 49 years ago, I was deeply saddened by how the local environment was being treated.
The City of Nelson was burying garbage on its Kootenay River waterfront and occasionally burning cardboard and wood waste there. The Kootenay Forest Products mill pumped smoke into the air and spewed fly ash throughout Fairview....

There will be a Federal election this October and I’m wondering what the various parties will tell us what should be of concern: SNC Lavalin, taxing sugary drinks, immigration or a price on carbon?
When I consider that everything we do happens within “the environment”, locally and globally and that environment is being impacted by serious...

On June 6, 1944, I arrived by boat on Juno Beach in Normandy, France, with the Canadian Scottish Regiment. My role was in the mortar platoon. On June 17, I was based in a barn, anticipating an attack that never came. I went into a nearby shed to disarm the grenades when one exploded, resulting in the loss of my right arm.
When I returned...

This Fall, the call will come for the opportunity to run the business of the nation.
There will be at least four major companies making a pitch for that job. We know them as ‘political parties’. When contracting any company, it’s important that ‘deliverables’ are not just vague promises, but are supported with time lines and measureable...

Dear Editor,
I would like to open the conversation up on homelessness in our area. We have people who are needing help and understanding. In fact, many of them are people who have grown up here who have just hit a rough patch. Some have never had a run-in with the law and others who are simply poor, which is not a crime.
