Randy Quakenbush joins Grizzlies Society to keep team in Revelstoke ALEX COOPER reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

Recently ousted Revelstoke Grizzlies coach and general manager Randy Quakenbush has joined up with the Revelstoke Grizzlies Society in order to help keep the Junior B hockey team in town. “I have a passion to see hockey stay in Revelstoke, the same as the community,” Quakenbush told the Times Review. “The society, once they realized they had an opportunity to purchase the team, approached me and asked if I would be interested in bringing my hockey expertise as

a coach/GM and as a temporary acting governor to represent our group to the KIJHL. It represents a good continuity to our program.” Quakenbush was let go as coach and GM by Grizzlies owner Michael Roberts last week, shortly after the Revelstoke Grizzlies Society annual general meeting that he attended and provided advice at. Quakenbush, who signed a three year contract when he was hired last summer, said he was willing to make the move to 100 Mile House should the sale of the team be approved by the league. However, Roberts informed him

that the new ownership wanted to bring in their own coaching staff and his contract was terminated. Quakenbush said he would be providing his hockey expertise to the society and represent the group to the KIJHL. He will be attending the May 6 meeting of the league’s Board of Governors as an observer. The Board will be voting on the sale at that point. “I can’t go and represent myself as the Revelstoke Grizzlies because that’s a legal issue that still has to be resolved,” he said.

Roxy Theatre exploring liquor license for special events following rule changes ALEX COOPER reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

Carl Rankin. Revelstoke Times Review File photo

The Roxy Theatre will explore taking advantage of new regulations that allows movie theatres to sell alcohol. “Its something I’m looking into right away,” said owner Carl Rankin. “It didn’t take me by surprise, I’ve known it was coming and I think it has some benefit to the Roxy locally.” The changes to liquor license regulations were introduced last week by Rich Coleman, the cabinet minister responsible for B.C. liquor and gambling policy. He said the change will get rid of red tape for theatres that could get a

licence to serve alcohol for live events, but couldn’t show movies in the same place. The new licence will allow theatres to serve drinks in the lobby, but patrons won’t be able to take drinks to their movie seat unless the room is adults-only. Coleman said unlike the stands at a hockey game or out in a well-lit lobby, it’s difficult for operators to see if minors are sneaking drinks in a dark theatre. A single-screen theatre like the Roxy can serve alcohol and patrons can take their drinks to their seat as long as it’s an adultonly event. For events with minors present, alcohol can only be consumed in the lobby. It is up to the

licensee to decided if a screening will be open to everyone or will be adults-only. “People are trying to save the older theatres, where it’s just a single-screen operation, and trying to have two types of business in order to basically survive and make those older traditional heritage-type theatres work,” Coleman said. Ontario, Alberta and Manitoba already have similar licences for movie theatres. Jeremy Bator, president of the Motion Picture Theatre Association of B.C., praised the move. “These changes will have a positive impact on so many levels, including increased jobs, a better

guest experience and a more level playing field in the increasingly competitive landscape of entertainment in Canada,” Bator said. Rankin said he would take advantage of the changes to sell alcohol during special events like National Theatre and Metropolitan Opera presentations. “It would be nice at those events to be able to have a glass of wine and watch the opera,” he said. “I think it has some great possibilities. I’m not jumping in with both feet, I’m just going to look at it very carefully.” He expects it to take up to a year to apply for the liquor license. With files from Tom Fletcher/ Black Press

Even with billion-dollar deficits to back out of the harmonized sales tax, Kevin Falcon is getting a warm reception as he makes the annual finance minister’s tour of major banks and bond rating agencies. Reached in Toronto between stops in New York and Chicago, Falcon said Thursday’s AAA credit rating reports by Moody’s Investors Services and Standard and Poor’s show that B.C. continues to compare favourably to other jurisdictions emerging from the 2008-09 recession. “In a world of great uncertainty, we’re part of a pretty elite, small club, a shrinking club of jurisdictions that enjoy the strongest possible credit rating,” Falcon said. “There is a lot of investment interest in British Columbia.” B.C. started its fiscal year April 1 with a deficit expected to be $969 million, returning to a $154 million surplus by 2013-14 and a spring election. “The province’s plan to balance its budget by 2013-14 is feasible given its track record of effective fiscal management,” Moody’s said in its credit rating report. Falcon said B.C.’s growing Asia trade is looked on favourably by bankers and private investors, which he has lined up a series of meetings with this week. They notice projected spending limited to two per cent overall, and a record of meeting budget targets, he said. Ontario is collecting HST revenues, but aims to take until 2017-18 to get get its $16 billion deficit back into the black. Moody’s warned Ontario in December of a possible credit rating downgrade if it fails to meet that target, a change that would increase government borrowing costs.

Council opts out of Sutton Place Hotel name debate NOTES FROM THE APRIL 10, 2012 MEETING OF COUNCIL AARON ORLANDO editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

Council walked a fine line between a recommendation from the heritage commission and the limits of their jurisdiction. The issue was a perceived snub to famed Revelstoke ski jumper and pioneer Nels Nelsen, who is a member of the Canadian Ski Hall of Fame. Late last year, the Nelsen Lodge at Revelstoke Mountain Resort was renamed the Sutton Place Hotel after the resort’s parent company Northlands Properties acquired the hotel chain. Out with the Nels Nelsen name, which upset members of the heritage commission. In a written report, they recommended council send a letter to the owners “encouraging the use of the historical name “Nelsen Lodge” in the Revelstoke Mountain Resort branding, education, signage and/ or marketing.” Although councillors could see the commission’s point, they were reluctant to overstep their bounds. “I think it was a real slight to take that name off that lodge,” Coun. Gary Starling noted. But he went on to question if it was council’s place to tell a private business what to do. His thoughts were echoed by councillors Johnston and Bender. Some kind of hybrid name would be confusing, noted Coun. Steve Bender: “Sutton Place slash Nelsen Lodge?” he questioned. In the end, they opted to invite the owners to talk with the planning department or council about options for using historic names like Nels Nelsen’s. In an interview after the meeting, Revelstoke Sutton Place Hotel general manager Peter Nielsen said the decision to change the name was “long thought out,” and was done for “exterior marketing” purposes. “The Sutton brand has a cachet and a reputation for luxury

that we really felt matched the offering,” he told the Times Review. “We ran into a lot of challenges with the name Nelsen,” he said. They got callers looking for accommodation in Nelson, B.C. “They’d just assume we were near Whitewater.” Nielsen noted the swoop in the building’s roof was an homage to Nelsen’s ski jump. “We have a portrait [of Nelsen] in the lobby which will always be there.” He added the hotel was willing to work on ideas and “definitely open to suggestions and ways that we can honour him.”

FIRE FIGHTERS MUSEUM EXPANSION GETS HOT SEAT Although it wasn’t a decision point or a budget request, the Revelstoke Fire Fighters Museum expansion proposal got what can be described as a mild grilling at city council. Council had previously asked for a business plan for the expansion, which is slated for construction this summer. Revelstoke Fire Rescue Society president Brad Faucett noted the key objective is housing and restoring an aging fire engine located at the public works yard. They’ve got the grants and funding to go ahead. He was there to answer questions about the business case presented to council. Council questions primarily focused on worries about operating costs that would be incurred to the city. Criticism focused on the operating plan. “The difficult part is sustaining it,” noted Coun. Steve Bender, who has a background in museum management. “Sustainability is going to be your biggest

[problem].” Council noted the current 50 to 100 visitors a year, wondering how they would sustain the place without bigger numbers. Faucett said the museum was originally conceived as a place to house the existing antique fire truck but it’s outgrown that. Currently, it’s not well marketed and isn’t a part of the Revelstoke Museum Collective, but they plan to join. Other ideas for increasing attendance include hiring a summer student or charging a small entrance fee. Coun. Chris Johnston wondered why these initiatives weren’t undertaken first: “Why hasn’t something been done?” he asked. In the end, council accepted the business case report for information. Faucett noted the society’s intent

to host a ‘Firebells and Fanfare’ event in Revelstoke that would bring firefighters from around the region for a festival that included lots of fire trucks. “It brings a lot of value to the city,” he said. “More importantly it’s just showcasing what we have here in Revelstoke.”

OFF-LEASH AREA REPORT PASSES WITHOUT DEBATE None of the councillors present wanted to take a bite out of the offleash dog area report. Planning director John Guenther said the idea was to get public input. He is hoping to clear up issues such as unclear signage. Residents are invited to contact city hall in order to give their feedback on plans for major

changes to off-leash dog walking areas, including revoking the status from Centennial Park to the Illecillewaet River footbridge.

SMOKING BYLAW Council requested an update on the proposed anti-smoking bylaw that will increase restrictions on smoking in public places. Council heard it was still smouldering away, making its way through committee referrals.

Diabetes is one disease which is important for the patient to understand fully. Having one-onone instruction from a diabetes educator is an important part of reaching this goal. It has been shown that those diabetics who understand their diabetes will manage it better. People that smoke marijuana in their youth

appear to be more at risk of pyschoses and schizophrenia later in life. Two thousand young people that smoked marijuana at least 5 times were found to be 5 times more likely to develop psychosis during the next ten years. Food for thought. The idea that all herbal supplements are safe because they are natural is not always

true. We always recommend you tell your doctor and pharmacist what herbals you take on a regular basis because there are some herbs than can interact with some drugs like warfarin (used as an anti-clotting agent for some heart problems). Herbs like dong quai, garlic, ginkgo, ginseng and St. John’s Wort are examples.

Times Review editor wins historical writing award Times Review staff

Aaron Orlando, the editor of the Revelstoke Times Review won one award and finished runner-up in a second category at the Ma Murray Awards in Richmond on Saturday. Orlando won the Neville Shanks Memorial Award for Historical Writing for his article Does ‘Revelstoke’ meteorite hold evidence of extra-terrestrial life? that appeared in the Mar. 9, 2011 issue of the Times Review. The article is about a meteorite that crashed near Revelstoke in 1965. When a report was published last March that the meteorite might contain signs of extra-terrestrial life, he went into the archives to explore the littleknown history of the meteorite. “Revelstoke has a rich, interesting and often fun history. I’m always thankful for Revelstoke Museum & Archives curator

Aaron Orlando.

Cathy English’s knowledge and assistance with local history,” he said in an e-mail after winning. “We should all be thankful of the tremendous resources made possible through the Revelstoke Museum & Gallery Collective. Having said that, it was rewarding to find a lesser known chapter in our local history and make that connection to current events. I note the Revelstoke meteorite is one of only a handful of its kind,

and it has yet to be tested for alien bacteria fossils, so it may yet be our first encounter with alien life, if someone is brave enough to crack it open – that is if someone hasn’t ‘lost’ it yet.” Orlando earned a Silver award in the John Collinson Memorial Award for Investigate Journalism category for a series of articles about squalid workcamps in the Revelstoke area. The series began with an article headlined Forests ministry knew of conditions in squalid camps; workers not yet paid that appeared in the July 20, 2011 issue of the Times Review. He was beat out by Black Press colleague Jeff Nagel’s series Justice Denied about the problems facing the provincial legal system. The Ma Murray awards honour the best in community newspapers throughout British Columbia and the Yukon.

A provincial court judge has allowed Crown to keep items seized as evidence during the investigation into the death of Daniel Levesque. Judge Ernie Quantz gave RCMP investigator Const. Margo Downey until Aug. 15 to retain the evidence, which includes Joshua Bredo’s BlackBerry, ring, clothing and shoes, the Victoria Times Colonist reported earlier this month. Levesque died following an altercation in a Victoria condo on Aug. 3, 2011. Bredo was charged with second degree murder in connection with Levesque’s death but the charge was stayed in December after the autopsy reported the cause of death as cocaine toxicity. According to the Times Colonist, Downey expressed concern in an affidavit that the pathologist that conducted the autopsy relied on

incomplete, inaccurate and unsubstantiated information. The autopsy by Dr. Carol Lee also indicated that Levesque had two circular wounds on the back of the head – indicative of being struck by a hammer. During the application hearing, a second affidavit filed by Downey said that 54 text messages were sent and received by Bredo’s BlackBerry from Levesque’s phone. An RCMP lab was working on retrieving the deleted text messages but it would take nine to 12 months to retrieve the messages. According to the Times Colonist, Downey has also asked Lee to review the autopsy. The review is expected to be completed by the end of April, at which point Downey said in her affidavit she may retain the services of an independent pathologist.

Lawyers looking into Grizzlies sale contract from page 1 team are now happening on a legal level. When the society sold the team in 2006, a clause was put into the contract allowing it to buy back the team for $1 if the team moved or was folded. The society’s lawyer Constance Brothers said she was in contact with Roberts about the contract but declined to speak further. “As lawyers like to say, the contract speaks for itself - you just have to read it and see what it says,” she said. On the community support front, the Facebook group Save the Revelstoke Grizzlies has more than 500 members and petitions are located at 37 locations around town, including many restaurants and retailers. “It’s moving ahead slowly,” said Revelstoke Grizzlies Society president Mavis Cann. “We’ve had a lot of positive progress in the last week but we’re in limbo until we receive the rights of the team.” Quakenbush said he would work to assist the society’s efforts to keep the team in Revelstoke and that should it purchase the team, he would work to get a team ready for the 2012-13 season. He will not be taking part in the Revelstoke Grizzlies camp from April 27-29 in Winfield, B.C. He said Kevin Kraus, who was an assistant coach last year, would be leading the camp

as acting coach and GM of the team. Quakenbush said he would work to bring community and corporate partners on board with the society and have the team form a partnership with the community. “I 100 per cent whole-heartedly believe that a society owned team is a very viable venture in Revelstoke,” he said. “I’m personally passing up opportunities to be involved in other programs to stay here.” Quakenbush has lived and coached hockey in Revelstoke since he moved here in 1988 and said he believed Junior B hockey is a “quality of culture” issue for the community “It provides activities, it provides leadership and it provides opportunities for the whole community to come together,” he said. “I truly believe that hockey builds quality and character of life. I’ve had a great experience with the life lessons that I’ve learned from my experiences in Revelstoke and I think this is a great opportunity for me to give back to this program and to the community.” *** Disclosure: Mavis Cann, the president of the Revelstoke Grizzlies Society, is the publisher of the Revelstoke Times Review. As always, the Times Review editorial department will strive for fairness while reporting this ongoing story. If you have any concerns, please contact editor Aaron Orlando at 250-837-4667 or express them in a letter to the editor.

Closing airport fence will impede recreation options on flats Editor Re: Fencing to be installed to block access to Revelstoke airport area wetlands, revelstoketimesreview.com, News, Mar. 28 We are writing to voice our concern over the proposed closure of access to the flats at the south end of the airport. We understand that the mayor of Revelstoke is also vice Chair of the CSRD and a member of the Revelstoke Airport Committee. Can we therefore assume that the City of Revelstoke supports this decision to close off access to the flats? This access is the only one with space for people to park and be off the road. It gives access by path to the old road and rail beds which people use for walking, cycling, riding horses, cross country skiing, bird watching and other non-motorized activities. The new bridge could have provided people with so many options for activities but with this access point unavailable people from the south end of Arrow Heights and South Revelstoke will be unable to use this route into town. I understand that this access point is part of a wildlife corridor – has the Ministry of Environment been consulted about the closure? To respond to Loni Parker’s flippant comments in the press release: Concern for the birds is misplaced at present when the main disturbing factors are planes and helicopters. Closing off this access will limit peo-

LETTERS POLICY

L E T T ER S ple’s ability to access the flats without walking through the nesting areas. At present people and the vaste array of birds exist in harmony–but the creation of new paths could have a different result. There are many other beautiful places in this valley but access for many people is difficult and involves driving. Parking along Airport Way could become an issue as more people have to use their vehicles to get to an access point so that they can go for a walk. Of course security at this airport is important – however there have been no incidents and Canada geese are more likely to wander on to the runway than people or dogs. Private jets from the big cities may be concerned about security at this little airport but why should the real life of many, many, locals be compromised by the imagined concerns of a few visitors? Why not have a trial period of posting signs to educate people of the dangers of wandering onto the runway –enforce these rules and review the effectiveness. Airport days would be an ideal opportunity for such an education blitz. If you do not know the area and the access and would like to know why it is important to us we would be more than happy to show you around The McNab Family, Revelstoke

BIRDS BIGGER THREAT TO PLANES THAN DOGS Editor, Re: Fencing to be installed to block access to Revelstoke airport area wetlands, revelstoketimesreview.com, News, Mar. 28 Regarding the possible closing of the river flats by the airport to the public. The wife and I ski, hike and birdwatch in the area and enjoy the interaction with nature. We meet many others enjoying their outing there. I understand that there is an agreement with BC Hydro to have reasonable recreational access to the area during the drawdown period. The notion that a dog on the runway could cause an accident is possible but flies in the fact that the runway is in a waterfowl flyway and habitat area which means that an airplane has millions more chances of hitting a goose than a dog. In fact, geese are often seen sitting on the runway. Possibly put up ‘No Trespassing’ signs on the west side of the runway and prosecute trespassers. If anyone wanted to sabotage anything at the airport it would be easy to get by any fence if someone is determined. Leave us our recreation area. Allan McInnes, Revelstoke

Pamper the Earth this Earth Day

COMMUNITY COMMENT BY SUE DAVIES

April 22 is Earth Day. What does that even mean? Is it just a whole load of greenies going out and hugging trees? Well no, actually, Earth Day is a bit like Mothers Day. So, why do we need an Earth Day anyway? The answer is that, just like mothers, the Earth is always there for us, providing vital services and support that we don’t even think about. We go about our daily lives depending entirely on these services and support, but rarely do we think about or appreciate them. What sort of support and services does the Earth provide? What doesn’t the Earth provide? If you need specifics here are some examples. The Earth is a great big cleaning machine. It cleans our water system. We might think that in this mountain town our water is brand-new, but think again. Every drink of water you have ever drunk has, at least in part, already passed through the bodies of countless other creatures. Fortunately for us, when that water passes out of the body of the previous user, the Earth cleans it up, via either evaporation, or filtration through soil particles and microbes. When we carelessly pollute our waterways, the river carries it away downstream where it is eventually purified. The Earth also cleans our air. The pollutants produced even in Revelstoke are extensive enough that, if the wind did not blow it all away, it would eventually become dangerous just to go outside, as does happen in some cit-

ies. Yet the Earth cleans up even this pollution, thanks to special molecules found in the atmosphere that actively seek out toxic chemicals and purify them. Soils are also cleaned up by the Earth. Both soil microbes and some plants can actively seek out and destroy many of the pollutants we carelessly allow to leach into the soils. In addition, soil nutrients are recycled throughout our environment regenerating soil fertility. The rain even washes away and recycles all the dog poop which emerges from the melting snow in the springtime. Without this massive cleanup going on 24-7 we would soon be living in, to put it mildly, a muck-hole. Many people have tried to put a dollar value on the cleaning provided by the Earth, but I have a hard time figuring just how that value could be calculated. If we could achieve all that cleaning ourselves, then yes, you could figure the cost. But in reality humankind, even with all our technology, is simply unable to accomplish such a large-scale mop-up. Earth also provides us with all our food. Not just the substrate in which we grow our crops and graze our stock animals, but the complex web of living organisms which allow sunlight to be transformed into edible produce. Many of us try to eat local and having a vegetable garden in Revelstoke is fast becoming the trendy option. Fortunately for us the Earth has provided us with wonderful soils, plenty of summer sun and even enough water to grow an excellent selection of food in our own backyards. But there are some foods that require a bit more of the earth’s resources. Consider the complexity and vastness of the system that provides you with a tuna sandwich. Tuna is a top predator and requires clean oceans with effective global circulatory systems and vast areas of energy capturing phytoplankton.

The captured energy is passed through a complex web of many living creatures until it finally reaches a tuna, which converts it into protein for your sandwich. And that is not even considering the network of microbes, insects, weather systems, and nutrient cycling systems that go into making the bread, butter, mayo, salt, and pepper. Our Earth provides an almost limitless supply of new ideas and new substances. Just over 100 years ago nobody knew about penicillin or other antibiotics, making even minor illnesses or wounds often fatal. Since the discovery of penicillin, many other incredibly useful substances have been found within the tissues of wild organisms. Scientists are still finding large numbers of previously unknown organisms and testing them for unknown and possibly useful compounds. Who knows what fabulous substances are still waiting to be discovered? So those are just a few examples of what the Earth does for us on a daily basis. Like a parent, the Earth is always there, picking up after us, providing us with the necessities of life, and generally taking care of us. The Earth can be thought of as a living creature with each individual organism representing a single cell. As a whole this creature functions well and can mend a certain amount of damage. But even the Earth has its limits to healing and our actions are causing plenty of damage. So, this Earth Day, treat the Earth like a respected parent and pamper it by being as ecofriendly as possible. In fact, why not give the Earth a break every day from now on? For more information on how to pamper the Earth, visit the North Columbia Environmental Society’s website at northcolumbia.org. Sue Davies is contributing a four-part series on behalf of the NCES.

BEGINNING IN MAY, WEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;LL BE IN REVELSTOKE, EXCHANGING THE OLD BC HYDRO METER ON YOUR HOME WITH A NEW SMART METER. BC Hydro is upgrading homes and businesses with new smart meters. Moving to a more efďŹ cient, modernized grid will help us meet the growing demand for electricity while continuing to deliver safe, reliable power throughout the province.

The Canadian government defines youth as someone between the ages of 15 and 30, so it is fitting that the person hired as Revelstokeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s youth liaison is still only 28-years-old. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have lots of experience working with youth,â&#x20AC;? said Karlene Loudon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think Revelstoke is a pretty spectacular community and it being small, it has a lot of opportunity for youth engagement and for youth to be a big part of designing their own future here and what they want the community to look like.â&#x20AC;? Loudon has been hired to implement Revelstokeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Youth Ac-

tion Plan and take on the not-soeasy task of working with youth in all sorts of matters ranging from civic engagement to entertainment to employment. Fortunately for her, her job description narrows the age range down to 12-19. The action plan was put together by Mike Brown and Megan Shandro, in conjunction with Revelstokeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Youth Initiative Committee (YIC). The youth liaison position was one of the recommendations to come from the plan and funding was obtained from the Columbia Basin Trust to pay for the position. Loudon said one of her first goals will be to establish a hub

from previous page other activities. “We’re just formulating ideas right now of what events and what programming we’re going to get up and running and I’m very open with people contacting me with their ideas,” she said. A part of her job will be to bring in funding for different proj-

ects and she said one that was in the works was to hire someone on contract to work on employmentrelated issues. Loudon grew up in White Rock and attended Thompson Rivers University where she graduated with a degree in adventure tourism and entrepreneurship. She arrived in Revelstoke three years ago to work for Selkirk-Tangiers Heliski-

ing and for the many outdoor opportunities. She also works for an environmental consulting company and does contract work at Okanagan College. “As a youth – and I consider myself still a youth, I’m just in a different phase of it – I was very engaged in competitive sports, art, sales of arts, and adventure recreation as well,” she said. “I feel very

fortunate that I had those opportunities and know that not everybody does.” When asked what she felt was the biggest advantage Revelstoke possessed when it came to supporting youth, she said it was the strong sense of belonging youth felt for the community – 87 per cent according to the survey conducted during work on the YAP.

“That’s huge. People are proud to be here and proud of their community. People want to stay here and want to be involved and engaged. I think that’s the biggest strength this community has. It’s just pulling it all together and making it happen.” *** Karlene Loudon can be contacted at revelstokeyouth@yahoo.ca.

The old RCMP sign is an example of a simple item that holds historical significance and is of interest to Cathy English at the Revelstoke Museum & Archives. Alex Cooper/Revelstoke Times Review

Museum embarking on project to collect material from community ALEX COOPER reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

Do you have any old trinkets kicking around, collecting dust in a closet? Take a careful look at it before you throw it out or get rid of it in a garage sale – it could be something Cathy English at the Revelstoke Museum & Archives is interested in. “We’re embarking on a project called the Community Historical Resources Project,” she told me. “Really it’s a realization we have a lot of gaps in here and most of those gaps are from the last 50 to 60 years. We’ve done a really good job collecting from the early part of the century, the 1880s up until the 1940s or 50s but beyond that we do have a lot of gaps in knowledge, in photographs and in information.” The aim of the project is to collect photos, artifacts and information from people before it’s too late – whether that be a sign from an old business, old photos of downtown or memories of important developments. “When I talk to a lot of people saying I’m interested in photographs on certain things, they say, ‘I didn’t think that was history.’ or ‘I didn’t think that was important,’” said Englsh. “I think it’s just raising awareness that all aspects of our community are important and we need to be able to record that now while people are still around and still have things.” As an example of something seemingly mundane that the museum recently acquired, English showed me a Burridge’s ash tray from the 60s or 70s. The museum also recently re-

ceived a Revelstoke Cable Systems ice scraper and objects from the old bowling alley. “Anything with businesses names on them, we’re always happy to get those,” she said. Another project she is interested in is in re-creating downtown as it has looked throughout the years, with a historical listing of various stores that have existed. “There’s been a lot of changes since I’ve been here in 1978 and I don’t even remember everything that was in every building,” she said. “I’d like to get people’s memories of where different places were.” Other stories English is interested in telling are that of Italian immigration, the Ukrainian community at the base of Mt. Cartier that was wiped out by the dam, and big construction projects like the dams, Mt. Macdonald railway tunnel, and ski resort. “Of course, how downtown was changed in 1985 when they did the downtown revitalization project,” she added. The museum has a large basement where it stores much of its archives but to help with space, English is looking at compiling a database of artifacts that people have. That was, if they’re not willing to donate them permanently, they can still be borrowed for special exhibits. Another aspect will be compiling a list of experts on different subjects. “If somebody phones me looking for information on the building of the Mica Dam, I’d have a list of people who’d have expertise in that area,” she said.

How many local rivers will be diverted into pipes for IPP projects?

REVELSTOKE RESIDENTS ARE KEENLY INTERESTED IN THE FATE OF THEIR LOCAL RIVERS AND CREEKS, YET MAKING PROJECTIONS ABOUT SO-CALLED â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;IPPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; RIVER POWER PROJECTS IS TRICKY. OUR FEATURE STORY EXPLORES WHICH CREEKS AND RIVERS WILL LIKELY BE DIVERTED AND WHEN. WE ALSO EXPLORE RECENTLY-UNCOVERED TRANSGRESSIONS AT A LOCAL FACILITY THAT DRIED OUT A RIVER AND KILLED RESIDENT TROUT. AARON ORLANDO editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening with independent power projects on rivers around Revelstoke? How many local rivers and creeks are likely to be diverted into pipes in the next five, ten or more years? Applications have been made to build IPPs on Begbie Creek, McKay Creek, Cranberry Creek and Moses Creek, but are these projects likely to proceed? After all, many of the projects that were staked out over the past decade are not likely to be built. I set out find out what projects will likely proceed in the immediate Revelstoke area. Although the answers arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t conclusive (for several reasons) I think this story paints a fair picture of what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re

likely to see, including a piped-up river that runs past a popular hiking trail, and evidence that an existing IPP project in the region likely destroyed fish due to bad design and poor management â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and, even though they were caught by the authorities, they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t face serious sanctions. This despite the fact that choking off the river to generate more electricity meant more profits for the corporation that owns that IPP. *** Meet Mountain Mike Watson. He hosts a weekly radio show on StokeFM called Mountains, Lakes and Streams, where he focuses on local and regional energy issues. When he strolls into my office in early March, the 30-year-old railroader brings a black binder with detailed research on all the local

IPP projects. Watson is the chairperson of a North Columbia Environmental Society committee exploring IPPS. His educational background is in planning and he got involved with the IPP issue when living near Bute Inlet, B.C. He heard about the industrial-scale projects proposed there and got involved; it was a way for him to exercise his planning background. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m an academic by heart,â&#x20AC;? he says. In the Revelstoke area, there are about 60 different IPPs proposed but many will not go forward. The staking system established for these creeks meant many private interests grabbed any creek available during the early to mid 2000s. Lots of them are simply too remote, too difficult to engineer or face too many environmental hurdles.

So, in Watsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opinion, which local projects are likely to proceed? McKay Creek (also known as Eight Mile Creek): If you hike the Mt. Cartier Trail you cross over this creek. It crosses Airport Way through a culvert just south of the Mt. Cartier trailhead. Watson says construction is likely to begin in 2013. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taken a walk of the area with a representative of the proponent. The project is currently in the permitting stage. Moses Creek: Located up Westside Road near the Revelstoke Dam, this project is also further advanced on the planning process, and could possibly start in the next couple of years. Begbie Creek: Located at the foot of Mount

Begbie, this project has drawn the most concern and comment from local residents, largely because of its connection to recreational amenities in the area. However, this project isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as far along as others. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem it will move forward for five or 10 years, if at all. Cranberry Creek: This project on South Cranberry Creek near Shelter Bay was completed about four years ago. Owners Advanced Energy Systems are contemplating an extension of the project up Cranberry Creek. Watson is far more concerned with the extension; the existing project is in already heavily logged terrain, but he describes the extension into â&#x20AC;&#x153;pristine wilderness.â&#x20AC;? These four projects look to be the most likely to go ahead. The first two seem fairly certain. I also

spoke with a local BC Hydro representative, but she told me local Hydro plans wouldn’t be known until Hydro completes its Integrated Resource Plan, which will be submitted to the B.C. Government in late 2012. The fate of many of the other projects (as we’ll see later) may be on hold forever due to policy changes in Victoria. Large scale protests for much bigger projects played a key role in stopping (or stalling indefinitely) the larger-name ones, such as GlacierHowser near Kaslo, amongst other projects outside of the region. “A lot of these major projects have gone by the wayside because of those protests, and I think that’s why it’s died down,” says Watson. I once attended a public hearing at a Kaslo high school for Glacier-Howser. Kootenay residents are always strident with their opinions, but that hearing was remarkable with more than 1,000 people shouting their opposition for hours through the evening hearing. But the smaller micro-projects are still advancing: “There’s not a surge in major projects being proposed – it’s the smaller ones that are being proposed, and those kind of go under the radar,” Watson says. For him, that’s the concern locally, in a valley already seriously impacted by the Columbia River dams. “I’m concerned with having about seven proposals from here to the ferry,” he said. “It seems like every second watershed has a proposal on there. And I don’t think it’s in our best interest to industrialize these watersheds for such little power.” Watson and the NCES IPP committee continue on with their education and research work. During our interview, Watson was careful to take back statements that tread too far into political waters, noting it’s not within the NCES’s mandate to be political. “For me, it’s just the environmental damage [to] these small creeks,” he said. Oh, and I can’t help asking: why ‘Mountain’ Mike? The conductor looked like another railroader with that nickname, and it just stuck.

DOES PREMIER CLARK’S LIQUID NATURAL GAS STRATEGY SINKS IPPS? It was a bullet point in an early February 2012 announcement from B.C. premier Christy Clark about plans for new Natural Gas Strategy. The plan is

TIMESReview ■ WEDNESDAY, APRIL 18, 2012 ■ 15

E NVIRONM E NT

www.revelstoketimesreview.com

to ramp up natural gas extraction in the north and expand and establish industrial-scale facilities on the north coast that compress the gas into a liquid so it can be put into ships bound for Asia. These plants suck electricity big-time, and they need firm power (read Site C dam), not seasonal IPP power. One of the key points of the plan reads: “A redefinition of the Province’s self-sufficiency policy to ensure B.C. is well-positioned to power expansion.” So, what does that last point mean? Critics of IPPs as they existed under the BC Liberal government were critical of the Clean Energy Act and the 2007 BC Energy Plan, which placed strict electrical energy self-sufficiency rules and goals on B.C. and BC Hydro. The act required BC Hydro to generate enough electricity to be selfsufficient during drought years. The act also restricted BC Hydro’s ability to create more electrical generating capacity themselves, forcing them to look to the private sector to generate this electricity. River power projects were one of them, and these private interests commanded much higher prices for their electricity – which would eventually trickle down to consumers through higher BC Hydro bills. The B.C. Utilities Commission in 2009 issued a report criticizing BC Hydro’s plans to ink deals with private power companies. The commission was rebuked in April of 2010 when then premier Gordon Campbell unveiled the new Clean Energy Act, which stripped the BCUC of key regulatory functions. All that political wrangling in Victoria about regulations didn’t capture the public’s attention, but a report by B.C. Auditor General John Doyle released in November of 2011 did. Doyle noted that BC Hydro’s use of “deferral accounts” painted a much rosier picture of Hydro’s bottom line – if one didn’t take into account debts of $2.2 billion piled up in these accounts. The number was expected to grow to $5 billion by 2017. The practice can “mask the true cost of doing business, creating the appearance of profitability where none actually exists, and place undue burdens on future taxpayers,” Doyle warned. Despite cost-cutting efforts at BC Hydro in 2011 that lopped off 700 Power, page 18

Rick Hansen Relay rolls through Revelstoke

Rick Hansen Relay photo gallery ALEX COOPER reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

The Rick Hansen 25th Anniversary Relay arrived in Revelstoke on Tuesday, Apr. 10, starting with a sponsor visit in Revelstoke and culminating with Drew Derosier rolling his way into Grizzly Plaza as the day’s final medal bearer. “First thing’s first, this thing is heavy,” he joked to the crowd of about 200. “I’m honoured to be here. It’s the best.”

He was followed by former mayor Mark McKee, who spoke on behalf of Mayor David Raven and Geoff Battersby, who was mayor when Rick Hansen’s Man in Motion world tour came through Revelstoke 25 years ago. “It was an exciting day for the community then just like it is for the community today,” said McKee. The next morning the relay resumed with a rally at Revelstoke Secondary School. Students were

treated to a talk about the life of Rick Hansen and the work of the Rick Hansen Foundation. Emily Suchy, who has a hip disease that reduces motion in the hip and prevents her from taking part in many activities, led the relay out of the school on her unicycle. Before she left, she talked of the time she meet Hansen. “He said I was really inspiring,” she said. “Are you kidding, I thought. You went around the world using just your arms.”

Local foundation expanding adaptive sports in Revelstoke LIVE IT! LOVE IT! FOUNDED TO PROVIDE OUTDOOR OPPORTUNITIES AND ADVENTURE FOR THE DISABLED

COMMUNITY COMMENT BY IZZY LYNCH

Gorgeous views, a vibrant community and endless opportunities for recreating outside are what draw many of us to this mountain town. With ski slopes, bike trails, fishing holes and climbing nearby, the transition from our living rooms to immersing ourselves in the outdoors is a relatively mindless task. It is a nobrainer that Revelstoke provides ample opportunity for activity, resulting in a healthy and happy community of outdoor enthusiasts. As one of many athletes that was drawn to Revelstoke for that reason, I am very aware of the benefits of not only leading a healthy active lifestyle and taking time each day to breathe fresh air, and the empowering feeling of accomplishing an adventure goal that takes physical and psychological commitment. However, I understand that getting outside and staying active is not such an easy task for all the residents of our community. When faced with a disability, finding adaptive sport equipment, and traveling to places with established adaptive sports programs is often too expensive, challenging, and overwhelming to be a priority. Many Revestokians joined in on the Rick Hansen 25th anniversary relay in Revelstoke last week to celebrate Rick Hansen’s push for an inclusive society and accessibility for the disabled. For local medal bearers such as Drew Derosier and Pauline Hunt – who both live with the effects of physical disabilities that restrict their mobility – opportunities for getting outside and finding things to do may seem impossible at times, especially in the snowy winter months. The Live It! Love It! Foundation was created last year out of inspiration by dynamic individuals like Pauline and Drew who have an obvious zest for life but are limited in their engagement in sport communities due to various physical, social and financial obstacles. The principles of Live It! Love It! are based on those of adventure and wilderness therapy programs. We encourage outdoor recreation and adventure as a method of fostering both physical and mental

health, happiness, and positive and meaningful relationships with others. We believe that the benefits of getting outside and accomplishing adventure goals should not be restricted to those who are able bodied and that anything is possible with a vision, determination and the right support network. Through raising funds, awareness, and connecting with other adaptive sports programs we work to support camps like Freewheel Whistler; a three day introduction to adaptive adventure activities for youth who have recently sustained disabling injuries; Hawaii Adaptive Surf; a surf camp for all ages and abilities; and also a Live it! Love it! sponsorship program that provides financial assistance for individuals with disabilities working towards their unique adventure goals. We couple our programming with opportunities for peer mentorship and mental training sessions to help overcome obstacles and move towards a healthier and more active life. The support for accessibility and inclusive society that was witnessed at the Rick Hansen Relay celebrations last week, coupled with our towns collective passion for the outdoors is why Live It! Love It! is proudly based in Revelstoke. We have a long way to go yet, but awareness is growing and potential for Revelstoke becoming a centre for adaptive sports and adventure is great. Already this year, hard work from locals Emily Suchy and Debbie Koerber has led to the establishment of the first Revelstoke Para Nordic ski program. There is talk of an adaptive alpine ski program on the horizon with support from the International Fellowship of Rotarian Skiers and we see potential for a number of accessible summer activities – with adaptive sailing, canoeing, kayaking, rafting, assisted hiking, paragliding, and hand-cycling all possible in our area. This is an exciting time in the evolution of Revelstoke and with such incredible depth of passion, athleticism, innovation, motivation and talent in our community there is no doubt that together we can ensure that everyone in our town is able to experience the mountain environment that we all know and love. A huge thanks for the enormous support Live It! Love It! has received from Revelstoke residents in the past year! Our programs have benefited greatly from your generosity and support. For those who are interested in contributing to establishing local adaptive sports programs please contact info@liveitloveit.org or visit www.liveitloveit.org.

Power projects from page 15 jobs, BC Hydro rates were jacked up again on April 1 of this year. The average home will pay an extra $5 per month. IPP projects were seen as one of the contributors to these overruns, leading to mainstream criticism of the rules that require Hydro to pay out guaranteed IPP rates over long-term contracts that are much higher than from conventional firm sources of power, like dams. While rural residents of areas highly-affected by river IPP projects (like here in Revelstoke) may be primarily concerned with the effects of these IPPS on their natural environment, it was the voice of more numerous citydwellers complaining about their electricity bills that turned the tide.

The February natural gas announcement from the premier is set to change the definition of self-sufficiency. Pending the final details, Hydro will likely not be required to buy as much IPP energy in the future, if at all.

‘IT TAKES AWAY THE ROCKET FUEL’ That’s how Wilderness Committee policy director Gwen Barlee described the announcement by premier Clark to dial back ‘self-sufficiency’ requirements. The self-sufficiency clause was the “rocket fuel” that drove the rush to stake and develop rivers across the province over the past decade.

But now that these guaranteed contracts look to be drying up, there’s doubt that projects that haven’t already advanced far into the regulatory process will go much further. “Putting wild rivers in pipes for energy that came at the wrong time of the year, and that B.C. doesn’t need, has been an abysmal failure,” Barlee said. “It has put an enormous financial burden on BC Hydro, which is our best tool against climate change, and has ruined dozens of wild rivers in B.C.” According to her figures, IPP projects produced 16 per cent of B.C.’s total domestic energy requirements in 2010, but racked up 49 per cent of overall domestic energy costs. “What Premier Clark needs to do now is ensure that proposed river projects such as the Kokish, Upper Lillooet, Upper Toba and Harrison, which have energy purchase agreements with BC Hydro but aren’t yet

built, do not proceed,” said Barlee. “Not only would it be environmentally damaging if these unnecessary projects proceeded but it would throw away billions of dollars of ratepayers’ money.” In a telephone interview, Barlee also points to environmental transgressions at existing facilities that led to the death of fish. A freedom of information request into the Ashlu Project near Squamish showed repeated problems with fish stranding and fish kills. Notes from inspectors show repeated episodes of fish being stranded or killed. “Private power projects weren’t supposed to be built in fish habitat and they weren’t supposed to impact fish,” said Barlee. “Now we are seeing serious problems in regards to fish stranding, kills and habitat damage. This is unacceptable to British Columbians. None of these projects should be located in fish habitat and if they aren’t operating within the law they should be shut down.”

AKOLKOLEX IPP TRANSGRESSIONS Another FOI document published on the Government of B.C.’s Open Info site points to transgressions at a local IPP project, albeit in 2005 and 2006. The Akolkolex IPP south of Revelstoke was the subject of investigation for drying up the river and killing trout downstream. The FOI request shows a series of communications between local environment officials as they investigated the dry river bed. “There is a dried out stream below Akolkolex Power Plant in Revelstoke . . . the last time he saw it with water was three days ago,” wrote one official. “This is fish sensitive habitat with at least three different types of trout.” Another noted: “These two breaches of their license have not only directly profited the company (every cubic-metre/sec of water not diverted generates additional watts of electricity which the company sells), but has also impacted the downstream environment . . .” Another recommended charges against the owners. The project was originally owned by Canadian Hydro Developers, but was purchased by TransAlta in 2009, after the incidents. The report also noted faulty mechanical equipment that prevented water from flowing properly into the river, instead diverting too much into electricity-generating pipes. In the FOI document, an engineer for Canadian Hydro Developers said the issue was due to a design flaw. “The incident in question was a result of debris caught in the gate which could not be safely removed until river flows decreased and we stopped spilling,” he writes. A 2006 letter from B.C. government Assistant Regional Water Manager Dwain Boyer noted the design of the facility was flawed. “It was also the staff’s opinion that there was no obvious way that the structure could pass the required minimum flow under normal conditions.” Local conservation officer Adam Christie is also quoted in the FOI request: “I have reason to believe that they may not have been allowing the minimum flows for some time now even when the log jam wasn’t a factor,” he wrote in a Sept. 8, 2005 letter. “Their water licence says they had to install works to measure the riparian flow but the local operator has no records [of] any such measurements.” Barlee wondered why the owners weren’t charged for these offences, which went under the radar. “We need the BC government to come clean on what they know about repeated and ongoing environmental transgressions at these projects,” he said. “Why weren’t charges laid when these companies violated their water licenses or broke the law?” Mike Watson participated on the investigation into the FOI. “I was shocked personally about the whole FOI,” Watson said. “Hey, what’s going on here?” was his reaction, wondering what is the state of operations at these remote facilities.

Revelstoke athletes join parade of nations at 20th Annual Whistler cup.

The Revelstoke Ski Club FIS team has been busy the past two weeks racing the Miele Spring series April 1-6 in Panorama, B.C., and April 14 and 15 at Mt. Norquay near Banff. Competing against National team members Mike Janyk, Jan Hudec, Ben Thomsen as well as development team member Eric Read, the FIS athletes were inspired by their heroes as well as were looking forward to improving their FIS points in the series. With 130 men in the field Dominic Unterberger led the local results earning a 31st in slalom, 33rd in giant slalom and 44th in super G in Panorama. Against a smaller field in soft spring conditions at Norquay, Unterberger came home with a 15th best slalom result. Lachlan Hicks earned a 53rd in SL, 57th in GS and a 64th in SG at Panorama and a 17th in slalom at Norquay. Peter Behncke went hard but struggled to finish races and came home with a 55th best finish in SG at Panorama and a 22nd in slalom at Norquay. Cole Smith earned a best result of 60th in Panorama and 27th in Norquay. On the women’s side Emily Unterberger skied consistently throughout the week at Panorama, earning a 41st in GS and 42nd in SG. Jamie Park completed the SG at Panorama with a 21st and earned a 12th in slalom at Norquay; and Noemi Petit left Panorama with a 50th best finish in SG and 20th in slalom. Revelstoke was also represented at the 20th Whistler Cup by Mitchell Smith, Max Scharf and Callum Hicks. Under sunny skies and warming snow the weekend started with SG on the newly

developed Dave Murray National Training Center. Scharf topped the Revelstoke athletes with a 16th place and Hicks was 36th. The following day saw the boys move to the slalom course with Smith earning a 12th place and Scharf a 17th. GS was the final event of the weekend which saw a 24th finish for Smith and 38th for Scharf. Hicks struggled in the soft snow on Saturday and Sunday and did not complete his runs. The Revelstoke athletes are storing their skis for next few months while they pursue other sporting interests over the spring and summer. It won’t be long however before they start planning for their late summer and fall training. Thanks to all the athletes, coaches and supporters of the club for a great season. The Revelstoke Ski Club is currently hosting an online auction for a four day houseboat vacation with Waterways Houseboats on Shuswap Lake. Log into the Revelstoke Ski Club at website www.revelstokeskiclub. info for further details. Bidding closes Apr. 30.

Co-ordinator appreciates Seniors’ Association volunteers JEAN PEDERSEN Revelstoke Senior Citizens’ Association

“It is one of the most beautiful compensations of life, that no man can sincerely try to help another without helping himself” – Ralph Waldo Emerson “Volunteering is the ultimate exercise in democracy. You vote in elections once a year, but when you volunteer, you vote every day about the kind of community you want to live in.” ~ Author Unknown These two quotes perfectly define the volunteers who give their time, faithfully and loyally - daily and throughout each year, with the Revelstoke Senior Citizens’

Association. The Seniors Association is and always has been run entirely by many dedicated volunteers, which has resulted in a very vibrant and busy activity centre. During National Volunteer Appreciation Week I would like to take the opportunity to extend a heartfelt thank you to all the volunteers at the Revelstoke Senior Citizens’ Association – the executives, directors, committee members, and the many, many people who lend a hand with activities, events, and day to day operations. Their dedication has made the activity centre a wonderful place for fun, friendship, learning and sharing. I also want to sincerely thank the many volunteers from the

community and the membership who are directly involved in my volunteer programs. They have made our volunteer transportation program, computer tutorial program and helping hands programs extremely successful. Their gifts of time, knowledge and caring are the true meaning of volunteerism. In today’s busy society, it can be hard to think about finding time to volunteer. However, the benefits of volunteering are enormous, both to you, your family, and the community. The right match can help you find friends, reach out to the community, learn new skills, and even advance your career. Volunteering can also help protect your mental and physical health.

efits of volunteering is the impact on the community. Unpaid volunteers are often the glue that holds a community together. Volunteering allows you to connect to your community and make it a better place. This sure holds true at the Seniors Centre, as the many volunteers have certainly made it a better place. (Don’t forget, you don’t have to be a senior to volunteer!) So, during National Volunteer Appreciation Week, I thank all those volunteers that I come in contact with every day, who make a difference in others lives and who brighten my days. THANKS to everyone who volunteers to make our community better.

Revelstoke Cycling Association rejoices as spring arrives

The Frisby Ridge provides amazing views of the Columbia Mountains and Revelstoke Lake.

PETE SMILLIE Revelstoke Cycling Association

Spring officially arrived Tuesday, April 17, when the Revelstoke Cycling Association hosted its annual membership night and open house at the Community Centre. Revelstokians were invited to come down to meet our board and committee members, see what plans are in place for this summer season, generally talk bikes and riding, learn how get involved, and purchase their 2012 membership. If you wish to support cycling in Revelstoke, encourage trail construction and maintenance, and participate in rides and events, your membership is important. To save trees and streamline the membership process, RCA memberships are preferably purchased online at Zone4.ca. The RCA has been a victim of its own successful trail construction these past years, the ever growing number of riders has the parking areas literally overflowing. Plans are underway to improve parking at Boulder, Macpherson, Griffith Creek, and Frisby. While not as exciting as building new trails, infrastructure improvements like these will improve safety, and the overall functionality and biking experience in Revelstoke. The RCA Cross Country Committee has a hit list of short trail interconnects to complete at Macpherson, with a goal of improving access and flow throughout the area. Perhaps this will create some new XC race course opportunities as well. The Frisby Ridge trail will see additional improvements, as with all trail works, our efforts will go towards improving drainage on this trail so that in the future it is low maintenance and environmentally sound. Quite a few trail work days are planned.

The RCA roadies will be putting in Sunday morning groups rides, the third annual Tuesday night time trial series is a go, and are planning at least one out of town multi-day excursion. Final details on dates, times, locations, and registration will be posted shortly. A road/XC style club kit was designed over the winter and has been ordered, jerseys, wind jackets, wind vests and shorts will be available for purchase in early May. The RCA Downhill Committee will follow up last year’s Boulder Mountain renewal with another ambitious work plan for the summer. In addition to parking improvements, outstanding trail works and maintenance days will be completed, and plans are underway for a club level downhill races series, stay tuned for more on that in the near future. Freeride club clothing is in the design stage, so don’t go buying a new jersey just yet! Speaking of racing, 2012 brings the third season of RCA Wednesday night cross-country racing. We anticipate the same awesome Macpherson courses, with some tweaks to include the new Flow Down trail, lots of prizes, a creative points system, and great riding and friendly competition. Race 1 is scheduled for early May if conditions allow. The RCA would like to thank our many partners including the Columbia Basin Trust, Site and Trails BC, the Revelstoke Nordic Ski Club, Stella-Jones Inc., Flowt Bikes and Skookum Cycle, Revelstoke Tourism, and our many volunteers who are about to move into high gear for the summer! For information about joining the Revelstoke Cycling Association or the many projects and initiatives on the go visit www.bikerevelstoke.org or see our Facebook page. Revelstoke is now live at MountainBikingBC.ca.
