If No, what changes would you suggest? We affirm and support the letter as written. Does the draft MOU, as worded, reflect the appropriate balance between the role of BCSTA and that of individual Boards of Education? Yes. Are there other considerations that should be included in the MOU? If Yes, what are they? Our hope is that the history in reaching this MOU will be honoured by future governments. Are there any other suggestions, reflections or concerns that your board would like to raise at this time? Boards would like to have higher level of comfort that they will be consulted prior to publishing e.g. Rural Education Enhancement Fund (REEF). We thank you for the opportunity to comment and appreciate being asked for input at this time.

Thank you for the opportunity to speak to you in person while you were in Nelson last month. Please understand the priority for School District No. 8 (Kootenay Lake) is that all money is spent in the best interest of students. To that end, a less restrictive system of financial allocation would enable Districts to best allocate to serve the needs of our own K-12 system. In asking for this flexibility, there are several areas I would like to mention. School District No. 8 (Kootenay Lake) has some weathered and full facilities. We would like to move more freely around renovations and construction of crowded schools, as some of our projects have been on the list for the last 10 years.

In: Proceedings of Watershed ‘89: A Conference on the Stewardship of Soil, Air, and Water Resources, 21-23 March 1989, Juneau, Alaska. E.B. Alexander, Editor. USDA Forest Service, Alaska Region, R10-MB-77. Pages 165-171. (I) Author abstract: This study was initiated to provide information to silviculturists and concerned members of the public about the environmental characteristics of the Skeena River floodplains that affect the fate of forestry herbicides. This paper describes 1) the annual groundwater regime and its driving forces, 2) the stratigraphy of the deposits, 3) the physical characteristics of the soil, and 4) the climatic regime of both air and soil. Based on these data and the chemical and physical properties of certain herbicides, inferences are made about their probable fate in coastal alluvial environments. The period late July to early September is identified as the safest for the application of herbicides as the water table is low and consequently the chances of flooding are low. The surface deposits of fine silts and the rapid incorporation of organic matter into the soil should ensure low mobility of most herbicides. 278) Beaudry, P.G., and A. Gottesfeld. 2001.

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.
