For Immediate Release | June 1, 2020
Drinking water precautions during and after flooding
In areas throughout the Interior region, river levels have been high due to snowmelt and rainfall. The River Forecast Centre continues to monitor conditions. Part of being prepared includes being aware of water safety following local flooding.
Drinking water can be affected during and after floods. If you are unsure of the safety of your water following a flood, use an alternate source of water. Individuals with compromised immune systems and chronic illnesses, infants, or the elderly are at higher risk when the drinking water is affected. Floods may significantly increase risk to your health by introducing raw sewage, chemical contaminants, and debris into water sources.
It is important to remember the following when your drinking water is affected by floods:
Do not drink or use any water that has been contaminated with flood waters. Do not swallow water while you are showering or bathing. Your drinking water sources may need to be treated and tested before consumption can resume. For cleaning of your dishes, rinse them for a minute in diluted bleach (one tablespoon of household bleach per gallon of tap water). If you are using a dishwasher, use the hot wash and dry cycle. Many disease causing microbial agents, such as E. coli may be present in water impacted by flooding. Wash your hands with soap after contact with flood waters or handling items that have come into contact with flood waters.

Subject: Province Seeking Local Government Feedback on Trail Priorities
From: Kathleen Van Ekris
Hello, The Provincial Trail Advisory (PTAB), in collaboration with the Ministry of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development is seeking local government feedback on the Trails Strategy for BC.
Adopted in 2013, the Trails Strategy for BC is a call to action that invites all British Columbians to join in supporting and developing a sustainable network of trails throughout the province.
We are seeking feedback from local governments across BC to prioritize the remaining action items from the Trails Strategy for BC and to learn what local governments are doing in relation to the strategy’s 22 action items. Feedback from local governments will be used to inform strategy implementation and update recommendations on the Trails Strategy for BC.
Multiple responses from a local government are permitted so please forward this invitation to your colleagues that may have insight into your organization’s trail activities and priorities.
The survey is available HERE and will be open from May 27, 2020 to July 3, 2020.
This survey is for local government representatives only. Engagement to date has included interviews with trail associations, stakeholder organizations and provincial government representatives as well as a public survey which received over 5800 responses.
MNP LLP has been hired by the Ministry of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development to administer this survey as a component of a complete review of the Trails Strategy for BC. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me
Thank you, Kathleen

REGIONAL DISTRICT OF CENTRAL KOOTENAY MEDIA RELEASE
May 25, 2020 For immediate release
RDCK Recycling Depots to Join RecycleBC Program New program will expand recycling options for residents
Nelson, BC: The Regional District of Central Kootenay (RDCK) is excited to announce a new partnership with RecycleBC (RBC). A non-profit organization, RBC’s mandate is to collect and recycle residential printed paper and packaging (PPP) in British Columbia in accordance with a government-approved stewardship plan. Over 98% of BC households receive RBC recycling service. Several communities in the RDCK already operate curbside recycling programs through RBC, adding depots to the service will improve compatibility and consistency for users. For residents of the RDCK this will mean new recycling containers at depots and a wider variety of accepted materials including plastic bags and Styrofoam.
“Recycling services are important to RDCK residents,” said RDCK Chair, Aimee Watson. “The new depot program will bring a lot of changes to the depots we operate and ultimately a lot of benefits for users. Our recycling depots will receive improved staff supervision, accept a greater range of materials and be consistent with other programs in the district and around the province. In addition residents will have a greater assurance that materials deposited at depots are recycled into new products primarily by processors in BC.”
Unfortunately, because of RBC’s strict regulations, five depots in the RDCK’s East Resource Recovery Sub Region will not join the new program. The depots at Gray Creek, Wynndel, West Creston, the Lower Kootenay Band Office and Kitchener will close at the end of June. The current RDCK depot recycling program utilizing bins to collect mixed recycling allowed small sites such as these to be operated effectively; however, new collection equipment, security and staffing requirements will make maintaining these sites incompatible with the RBC service. Nearby depots will continue to operate and allow residents to access the new recycling program.
“Closing these locations was a difficult decision,” said RDCK East Resource Recovery Committee Chair, Garry Jackman. “The new depot program will give users greater assurance that what they bring to our depot will be recycled and stay out of our landfills. Illegal dumping will hopefully be reduced as well. These benefits require a greater level of oversight from the RDCK to operate depots and this was hard to maintain at all of our current locations.”
Representing Diverse Communities in the Kootenays | 1.800.268.7325 | www.rdck.ca Page 1
The RDCK operates an extensive network of recycling depots and is working hard with its new service partners to smoothly transition to RBC. Depots in Castlegar (at the Ootischenia Landfill), Crescent Valley, Nelson, as well as Creston and the East Shore have been identified as the first phase of sites to launch in mid-June. The remaining depots will continue to operate under current conditions as they are brought on board the new program throughout the rest of the summer. The timing of this transition is being developed with the new depot service providers and will be promoted once it is confirmed.
In addition to receiving new recycling containers, recycling depots will also be staffed by Recycling Educators as part of the new service. Contamination standards are strict and staffing of sites is mandatory with the RBC program, but these standards also ensure materials are able to be recycled properly. Educators will be on site at depots to help users learn the rules of the new system and monitor for illegal dumping. Around the clock access at depots will end as a result. Depots that are located at RDCK Landfills and Transfer Stations will have operating hours to match those facilities, while those located at separate locations will have new hours set to complement other nearby depots and facilities to provide comprehensive service for residents.
Like other product stewardship organizations in British Columbia, RBC receives funds from the producers of the material they collect and manage. RBC manages printed paper and packaging (PPP) and their funding comes largely from retailers, grocers and other businesses. These funds pay for the transportation and processing of collected PPP, a portion of which will return to the RDCK based on the amount of material collected, offsetting up to 30% of the costs of depot operation.
Residents are encouraged to check the recycling section of the RDCK website in the coming weeks to see new updates about the recycling program, including information about new materials to be accepted for recycling, the new sorting requirements for recyclable materials and depot operating hours.
Incorporated in 1965, the Regional District of Central Kootenay (RDCK) is a local government that serves 60,000 residents in 11 electoral areas and nine member municipalities. The RDCK provides more than 160 services, including community facilities, fire protection and emergency services, grants, planning and land use, regional parks, resource recovery and handling, transit, water services and much more.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE The Bears Are Back In Town and So is WildSafeBC!
Kaslo and Area D, May 21, 2020
WildSafeBC is the provincial leader in preventing conflict with wildlife through collaboration, education and community solutions and is delivered by the BC Conservation Foundation in communities across BC. Brian Montgomery is this season’s WildSafeBC Kaslo and Area D Coordinator. While the COVID-19 pandemic may be keeping many of us at home, that is not true for the bears and other wildlife that live nearby. As Community Coordinator, Brian will be working hard to reach out to community members in new and innovative ways that maintain physical distancing and safety for the community.
From May to November 2020, Brian will be involved in a number of WildSafeBC modified program initiatives including door-to-door information delivery campaigns, garbage tagging, and webinar delivery of our highly requested WildSafe Ranger Program for school –aged children as well as our Wildlife Awareness and Safety Education sessions. Please email Brian for more information on how to register for these free programs. We will continue to provide local wildlife activity news and tips as the season progresses on our local Facebook page. We look forward to hearing from you and with your help, we can reduce conflict with wildlife and keep our community safe.
For further information on wildlife and how to reduce human-wildlife conflict visit www.wildsafebc.com, follow WildSafeBC Kaslo on Facebook, or contact your local Community Coordinator, Brian Montgomery, at [email protected] or 905-977-8288.
Please report wildlife in conflict to the Conservation Officer Service 24/7 at 1-877-952-7277. Residents can also report sightings of bear, cougar, coyote or wolf in an urban area. These reports are uploaded daily to WildSafeBC’s Wildlife Alert Reporting Program (WARP), available at www.wildsafebc.com/warp. This program allows the public to see what wildlife has been reported in their neighbourhood and be alerted of new sightings.
WildSafeBC Kaslo and Area D is grateful for the generous support the program receives from its funders including the Village of Kaslo, the Regional District of Central Kootenay, Columbia Basin Trust, the British Columbia Conservation Foundation and the BC Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Strategy.

3 Business Restart Survey
Complete the Business Restart Survey Online
Complete the Business Restart Survey by calling the NEW telephone hotline, powered by FortisBC 1-888-772-4667
Thank you for taking a brief moment to complete this important survey with questions geared towards business reopening.
The survey results will not be shared in any individual manner – all data will be released in aggregate format. In other words no business or individual name will be released. The only time a business or individual name is provided will be if they want their local economic development office to contact them.
The information will be used by local municipalities as an information resource only – it can help them to better provide information and support to their business community overall, it can be used for them to develop specific programs to assist their businesses, etc. For example, if results come back regarding a significant increase in labour needs, the EDO can ensure they are putting in programs around that.
BCEDA can use the aggregate information to support any requests to provincial or federal governments and other organizations. BCEDA would use the information to develop programs or education, etc., that will be of value to BC's communities.

Businesses can use the $10,000 grants to support their recovery efforts, including paying salaries, acquiring safety and personal protective equipment for staff, replenishing materials or paying for the measures required to adapt business models to the economic impacts of COVID-19.
During the COVID-19 crisis, the Canadian Chamber of Commerce’s mission is to help as many businesses as possible stay afloat and remain open. Small business owners put everything they have into their businesses, and these grants will help give a little bit back. Good people coming together is how

STATEMENT
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 1, 2020 Isobel Mackenzie, B.C.’s Seniors Advocate Statement on Seniors’ Week
Victoria, B.C.—"Each year, the first week of June in British Columbia is declared Seniors’ Week. This is traditionally a time when we celebrate the contributions of those one million British Columbians who are over the age of 65. The week is generally filled with events that gather seniors together, with government officials cutting cakes and presenting recognition awards. My office is usually engaged in activities throughout the province and I generally issue a statement that speaks to the diversity of seniors and to the extraordinary contribution they make to our community through prolific volunteering and heroic caregiving.”
“The impact of COIVD-19 has muted to some extent our sense of “celebration” as we launch Seniors’ Week in B.C. However, I think there is a reason to celebrate as enthusiastically as in past years. Although these are uncertain times, I find hope in how the public has shown that, when the chips are down, when seniors are in need, we mobilize as a community, a province and a country, and we say loud and clear to seniors, “You matter to us and we are here for you.”
“We saw this early in the pandemic with the spontaneous outpouring of a “good neighbour” response to ensuring that our elderly family, friends and neighbours had the groceries and medications they needed. When the province asked people to call 2-1-1 and volunteer to help seniors in their community, the phone lines momentarily crashed from the overwhelming response. Eight weeks later, we find ourselves with 10,000 volunteers throughout the province who have provided over 50,000 virtual visits and phone calls, almost 11,000 grocery deliveries and over 14,000 meal deliveries to seniors who are isolated at home.
“In addition, everywhere we turn, companies and community fundraisers are stepping up to provide tablets to care homes, allowing seniors to experience “virtual” visits and this commitment is ongoing.”
“Across the country, ordinary Canadians are stepping up and declaring that we need to take better care of frail seniors. Governments at the local, provincial, and federal levels have made loud and clear commitments to support seniors to be safe and well cared for.”
“Conversations that were previously restricted to the world of academics, health care professionals and advocates are now happening around dinner tables from Corner Brook to Nanaimo. This level of engagement and commitment is what we need and as we launch Seniors’ Week during a pandemic. Let us also celebrate this fact: we have shown that, as British Columbians, we clearly cherish and value the older adults in our lives, and we are committed to providing them with the best possible care and support.”

CEA - 2020 Annual Report 7 HIGHLIGHT - ACCELERATE KOOTENAYS Kootenays HIGHLIGHT - PEAKS TO PRAIRIES Final reporting was submitted on this trailblazing project in 2019 after a third summer of outreach Where 2018 was the groundwork year for the Peaks to Prairies EV Charging Network, 2019 was and engagement throughout the Kootenay region, and all infrastructure installed. ground breaking! At the end of 2019 fourteen of the DCFC/Level 2 charging stations were installed and activated, with three more installed but awaiting electrification in early 2020. The owner/ Accelerate Kootenays was Canada’s first community driven strategy to build a clean transportation operator of the stations, ATCO, reported the amount of electricity dispensed to drivers in 2019. All network, and was catalyst for region EV charging infrastructure strategies in other jurisdictions. but one of the stations is offset with renewable energy certificates sourced from southern Alberta While the project started as a way to address the technical barrier to EV adaptation, it became an projects (solar, wind or hydro). The environmental impacts for July - December 2019 are summarized opportunity for tourism, economic development and emission reductions across the rural region. below. The impact of Accelerate Kootenays will continue for years to come and should be celebrated as a legacy project by the Regional Districts that demonstrated the leadership and innovation to make it happen.
Total Energy Consumed Gasoline Avoided GHG Emissions Avoided
Through the summer of 2019 an awareness campaign was enabled through partnership with a Mitsubishi dealership in Calgary - Platinum Mitsubishi. CEA staff were therefore able to travel to 16 events in Southern Alberta, reaching over 1,000 people to talk about EV technology, the project and demystify electric travel. The concept of the Peaks to Prairies network was inspired by Accelerate Kootenays, but the southern Alberta context provided a unique opportunity to support local, renewable energy generation as part of the clean energy transportation network. The strength of the Peaks to Prairies Network was in the collaboration across the region, and the leadership by the Regional Economic Development Associations (Alberta Southwest Regional Alliance and Southgrow Regional Initiative) that help to coordinate and facilitate municipal participation.
