    The 5th Annual West Kootenay Glacier Challenge Scotiabank MS Bike Tour Courtesy of: Nelson & District Chamber of Commerce 91 Baker Street Nelson B.C. Ph. 250 352 3433 [email protected] discovernelson.com Scotiabank MS Bike Tour August 20-21, 2016 The tour starts in New Denver… Slocan Valley… New Denver- Founded upon the discovery of silver in the mountains adjacent to Slocan Lake in 1891, prospectors from the United States came flooding up to the New Denver region in 1892 to stake their claims, and gather their riches. New Denver quickly grew to a population of 500 people with 50 buildings. In 1895 this growing community built government offices and supply houses for the Silvery Slocan Mines. “A Simple Curve” was filmed in and around the Slocan Valley and was debuted in 2005. The story is of a young man born to war resister parents. War Resisters- In 1976 as many as 14,000 Americans came to the Slocan Valley in an attempt to avoid the Vietnam War. About half of those who made the move were self-proclaimed war resisters, many of whom settled in the Kootenay Region. Nikkei Internment Memorial Centre This exclusive interpretive centre features the Japanese-Canadian internment history of New Denver during the Second World War. The camp is said to have held close to 1500 internees during the war. The memorial centre opened in 1994, which showcases several buildings including the community hall and three restored tar paper shacks with Japanese gardens. A well known Canadian to come out of one of these local institutions is Dr.

    BRITISH COLUMBIA USED OIL MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION MANUAL FOR REGISTERED PROCESSORS AND COLLECTORS December 2020 FOREWORD The British Columbia Used Oil Management Association (BCUOMA), under approval from the Ministry of Environment, operates a Used Oil and Antifreeze Materials Stewardship Program in accordance with the requirements of the Recycling Regulation. BCUOMA is a not-for-profit organization of oil, antifreeze and oil filter manufacturers and retailers.

The focus of the Program is to support only those end uses that provide landfill diversion and environmentally sound recycle/reuse/energy recovery options as described by the Ministry of Environment’s Pollution Prevention Hierarchy (see Appendix A.) Used oil and used oil filters are both classified as hazardous wastes in British Columbia and pose an environmental problem if improperly managed. The proper recovery, management, and reporting of these Used Oil and Antifreeze Materials is the focus of the BCUOMA Program. This manual is designed to provide Processors and Collectors with a broad knowledge of the BCUOMA Product Stewardship Program and specific details regarding systems and procedures associated with registering for and claiming incentives.

  • BIKE TOURS British Columbia Is a Beautiful Place to Ride a SBC
    BIKE TOURS British Columbia is a Beautiful Place to Ride A SBC Touring Committee has been designing a potential “loop” tour leaving from Nelson, B.C. (pictured above) and tentatively scheduled for July 17 to 23. The committee needs to hear from those interested in this tour before proceeding to the next step of commitment. The committee is proposing the following schedule for this SAG supported tour: Day One, Monday, July 17: Travel to and explore Nelson (approximately 150 miles). Day Two, Tuesday, July 18: Bike from Nelson to Kaslo on Kootenay Lake (approximately 43 miles). Day Three, Wednesday, July 19: Bike from Kaslo to New Denver on Slocan Lake (approximately 29 miles). Day Four, Thursday, July 20: Bike from New Denver to Winlaw (approximately 32 miles). Day Five, Friday, July 21: Bike back to Nelson. Day Six (optional), Saturday, July 22, drive to and explore Cranbrook (144 miles) and ride a paved section of Canada’s “Great Trail.” It is an 18- mile paved section so riders can choose how many miles they want to ride. Day Seven, Sunday, July 23, return to Spokane (approximately 188 miles). Similar to last summer’s Oregon Coast Ride, we are trying to accommodate both campers and motel riders. It is designed for “moderate level” riders. Approximate cost of the tour is $200 (covers SAG trailer, SAG volunteer accommodations, SAG vehicle gas and related). It is the same cost regardless of whether you choose the optional days or not. Of course, there will be a list of activities to engage in when not riding, like soaking in the Ainsworth Hot Springs, exploring the Kokanee Glacier, swimming in Kootenay and Slocan Lakes, etc.
