Revelstoke ATV Club plans motorized trail to Arrowhead
It’s unclear whether or not former Nakusp Music Fest directors may be personally liable for money owed to Revenue Canada. PHOTO COURTESY OF GAIL MCMARTIN
Music Fest directors face uncertain fate By Claire Paradis Arrow Lakes News
“It’s been quite a learning curve,” said Tom Zeleznik, one of the seven former directors of the Nakusp Roots Music Society, the group responsible for putting on the Nakusp Music Fest. The directors, all volunteers, are finding they’re responsible for a whole lot more now that the Society has declared bankruptcy and Revenue Canada is seeking payment for “non-resident revenue.” “You don’t know until things go topsy turvy,” added former president Donna Rebman, who is one of the directors who may be personally liable for the debt to the feds, one that is growing every day. Zeleznik estimates the debt is about $34,000, with five per cent interest compounded daily. The directors have known they would have to declare bankruptcy since March, and since that time they’ve also been dealing with their insurance company trying to find out if they’re covered against Revenue Canada’s claim. So far, no word, and the interest owing continues to grow. The decision to declare bankruptcy was a long and difficult one, said Rebman. The first step was to get help from the Columbia Basin Trust who hired KPMG as a consultant to assess whether or not the CBT should give the Society $100,000, which they pledged to pay back after their building sold. After looking at the package the directors had put together, they advised the Trust the $100-grand investment would be a good one, if the Society were debt-free, said Rebman. “Next we sent a letter to all our creditors to see if they would accept 40 cents on the dollar,” she said, and they were advised that this would be acceptable only if all creditors agreed. Unfortunately, some creditors refused and the board was left with only one option.
“It wasn’t the fact we didn’t try,” emphasized Rebman, who spent months working to save the festival. “At that point there was not really much to do except declare bankruptcy.” Although she seemed stoic during the bankruptcy meeting, it was tough going for the former president. “I was a mess,” she revealed, “I absolutely hated it. It’s people you see every day. It was easier in the fact that everyone took it so good. Everybody understands what it’s like.” Now the Society’s assets are to be sold, including the building and a few other items that Rebman and Zeleznik hope continue to be used in the community like the sweeper and top dresser. Although the lesson they’ve learned is a stressful one, with no end in sight at the moment, both Rebman and Zeleznik are still keen on volunteering and making things happen for Nakusp. “I learned my lessons as a director,” said Zeleznik, who said he would do it again but would be more careful when looking at the state of finances and ensuring he did his due diligence. “It’s been a hectic year,” commented Rebman, for her part. “I’m going to have to lie back a bit.” But her enthusiasm for music festivals is far from gone. Even during the discussion about the Nakusp Music Festival and what could have been changed, her excitement and energy was clear. She discussed the possibility of bringing another music festival to Nakusp, perhaps a smaller one that could be part of another event like the rodeo. “It’s a pretty scary proposition after what happened in Nakusp,” she said, noting that another kick at the music fest can would definitely need to have the town more involved.

The Revelstoke ATV Club is applying to build a three-kilometre long trail that will connect the ghost town of Arrowhead with a nearby forest service road, allowing for motorized access to the site. Arrowhead is located across from Shelter Bay on the Arrow Lake Reservoir and is currently only accessible by boat or backcountry trek. The completion of the Hugh Keeleyside Dam in the late 1960s flooded out most of the historic mining and forestry town, though it had been in decline for some time after a railway connecting it to Revelstoke was decommissioned. The former town-site contains ruins, heritage plants leftover from gardens and a significant historic cemetery. Revelstoke ATV Club president Tom Kohlman submitted an application for the new trail in early 2012. The plan calls for the trail to be linked to a nearby forestry road. Parking areas will be located at both ends of the trail, which will be gated at the forestry road. The parking area at the Arrowhead end will be located some distance from the townsite itself. The plan is to have the gate locked except for special events sanctioned by the Revelstoke ATV Club. The proposal calls for a
trail that will allow ATV access but not access for larger vehicles. Non-motorized use will be permitted at all times. Kohlman was not available for a direct interview, but responded to questions about the proposal via email. He said the trail will improve access to the historic site. “We see the trail having the ability to remove the accessibility barriers for those individuals wishing to visit their loved ones in the Arrowhead cemetery, who would otherwise only be able to visit by way of boat on the Arrow Lake,” Kohlman wrote. “It also removes accessibility barriers for disabled or elderly individuals. We see the trail as an opportunity to enhance public awareness, interest, understanding and appreciation of our provinces’ past.” Kohlman said the trail is intended for uses such as hiking, biking, research, horseback riding and ATVing. “It is not intended as an ATV destination; it is there for all to enjoy,” he said in a statement. “We anticipate its main usage will be for local[s] and local connections to Arrowhead.” If approved, the club is targeting completion of the trail by 2013. Kohlman said the Revelstoke ATV Club was planning to use in-kind labour and donations as well as grants to complete the work.

Palmer’s gift a legacy of heart Nakusp’s own Antiques Roadshow comes to the Fall Fair
The latest leg of Avery Palmer’s heart-ďŹ lled journey will be taking her to study at UBC in Vancouver. CLAIRE PARADIS/ARROW LAKES NEWS
By Claire Paradis Arrow Lakes News
Summer feels like it’s over, and school is due to start, sooner than most of thought possible. For Avery Palmer, this fall means leaving her home in Nakusp and starting university at UBC in Vancouver. But Palmer is already leaving a legacy behind, one that caught the eye of former NHL player Trevor Linden. It all started a few years ago with a trip to the Children’s Hospital when Palmer was 14. Travelling from Nakusp to Vancouver in order to find out whether or not Avery had a serious medical condition was a nobrainer, but not one without
costs. The Palmer family had to find the money to spend two nights in the city as well as for the expense of the trip, a real barrier that many rural people face when they have to go to a larger centre to get the treatment they need. “Some people have to go to Kelowna for weeks at a time,� said Palmer, recognizing the strain the cost of travel can add to health worries. In Palmer’s case, the journey was a happy event twice over. Not only did she find out that she didn’t have a serious heart condition, she also found the inspiration to start up a society to help folks who needed financial help to to get medical attention. That society, the Arrow Lakes Medical Aid Society, now has a board that helps applicants get to the help they need. “We encourage people to get funding through groups like the Heart and Stroke Foundation or Canadian Cancer Society first if they can,� Palmer said, but there are still people who can’t qualify for other sources of funding that find help at the Arrow Lakes Medical Aid
Society. The community has been very supportive of her project, and the annual Mother’s Day Community Fun Run has been one of a handful of fund raising events that keep the Society going. Now that she is leaving Nakusp for university, Palmer’s legacy will continue, thanks to a couple of girls in grade 10 who will be taking on the responsibility for raising funds and awareness of the Society. Her work setting up the Medical Aid Society helped her earn a Trevor Linden Community Spirit Scholarship for $2,000 this past June, a real coup for Palmer not only because of the money but also because she’s a big fan of Linden. “I haven’t met Trevor Linden – yet,� she said, but she has sent an email saying thanks for the scholarship and asking if there is a possibility of thanking Linden in person. Palmer’s big city adventure is off to a good start. Although she’ll be missed in Nakusp, it’s certain she has the heart to make the most of her time in Vancouver.

Jim Draper, on the left, has been the manager at the Nakusp Centennial Golf Course for five years, and supplies answers to the Arrow Lakes News quick questions. CLAIRE PARADIS/ARROW LAKES NEWS
Nakusp Centennial Golf Course nears end of 45th season By Claire Paradis Arrow Lakes News
Did you know the Nakusp Centennial Golf Course is in its 45th year? Well, it’s true. In 1967, a Centennial grant got the course started and it’s been flying ever since. That fact, along with several other chestnuts, came straight from course manager Jim Draper. Draper is in his fourth year at the course as manager, and loves it. He and I chatted after the recent 2012 Men’s Tournament took place. “We’ve had a really busy day today,” Draper told me over the phone on Tuesday, August 21, “Golf carts in and out all day.” Still, the manager took time to answer a few questions: ALN: When does the golf season end at the Nakusp Centennial course? The clubhouse closes after Thanksgiving weekend, but we leave pins out for members. George the groundskeeper keeps it open until the frost sets. We don’t have any business really after the Thanksgiving weekend. ALN: Who uses the course more, locals or tourists, and are the locals members or drop-ins? Besides our membership, which is around 200, we get a few locals, but it’s mostly visi-
tors who drop in. ALN: Do you offer packages or promotions with other local businesses and other golf courses? We’ve tried in the past [to coordinate with other courses] but we’re so isolated we don’t get the tour business like elsewhere. The golfing crowds who do the tours, they stick to the more heavily populated areas that have more golf courses. We do have packages through Halcyon, the Leland, and Riders’ Retreat ALN: Does the course have tournaments, lessons and courses? We have about 13 tournaments a year. We host a few business tournaments, there’s a big tournament in September by the Leland, the Legion tournament, the Bodell tournament in July (it was the 5th annual this year)... In May, there’s the BCGA Zone 1 Jr., and the Annual Ladies and Men, the Derbyshire which hosts 63 players, the Yanow family invitational on August long weekend.The Dr. Norm Lea Ryder Cup is coming up this Saturday, August 25. We’re open to any business who would like to do a tournament. We offer golf, a drink cart, and the restaurant would plan a special meal.

We’re always open to anyone who wants to book a tournament. Burt Drysdale is our resident pro; he gives one or two lessons a week. ALN: Does he give them to locals or visitors? I know for a fact that there are visitors to town who see the poster here that Burt gives lessons, and they book one. The Junior Program is really big. It’s five weeks in the spring in May and June. ALN: How many years have you been the manager, Jim? Four years. I hope to continue, my contract up for renewal. What keeps you coming back? I’ve worked in the business all my life and I couldn’t imagine not doing it. Golfers are a friendly lot; people come up here to have a good time. It’s an upbeat environment. There’s nothing not to like about this work. “This year we’ve had three hole-in-ones: Elaine Rogers, Sharon Nishida, Dave Hanson,” said Draper. I’ve heard that a hole in one is a dubious honour because it means that you’re supposed to buy a round of drinks for everyone at the course. “That is the case,” Draper said, confirming the story.
For years we have heard from economic development groups, local governments and the community at large that the West Kootenay is in a transition economy; transitioning forward from our traditional resource extraction economy into the economy of the future. Diversification is a word commonly heard as the savior of our region’s business community. To diversify is to create different and new things to lessen the risk of destruction. To that end, the true heroes of the new economy in the West Kootenay are those who have the passion to dream, the courage to pursue those dreams and the dogged determination and willingness to sacrifice what many would not to drive that dream into reality – creating the businesses of our diversified, transitioned new economy. Now is the community’s chance to recognize and thank those that are delivering our economy to a better place. Whether tinkering in a backyard workshop, burning the midnight oil in front of the computer, or hustling day in and day out, entrepreneurs are truly resilient folks that rarely get the recognition for the tremendous benefits their tireless efforts provide. Cue the quadrennial Spirit of Innovation awards. To match the Olympic-sized efforts of our region’s innovators, the onceevery-four-years Spirit of Innovation Awards gala, hosted by the Kootenay Association for Science and Technology (KAST) is one way in which we can recognize our local entrepreneurs and businesses’ achievements in the field of innovative new business ideas.

OPINION
Tourism would be buoyed by more moorage Editor, I spent the past four days sailing and motoring up Lower Arrow Lake from Hugh Keenleyside dam 125 kilometres to Nakusp. As I travelled along, no matter how small the village, ample moorage was always available until I arrived at Nakusp. This village that depends largely on tourists to support it is very much in need of overnight moorage for visiting boaters. The first thing that greets you when you arrive at the launch ramp from the lake is a line of signs that read no overnight moorage. At the top of the launch ramp I found a sign that explains all the rules and regulations for the marina. At the bottom of this sign is a line that reads, “to enquire about moorage contact Saddle Sports.” Then I wandered around
town looking for Saddle Sports and found out that it has been closed for a few years. I then went for a cold drink and lunch. The waitress at the restaurant suggested that I talk to the Village office, as they may know who looks after the marina. So I walked five blocks to the Village office and a very helpful receptionist did everything in her power to find out if I could have moorage for the night. Fifteen phone calls later and after discovering that the local dentist was not using his boat slip at this time, I had moorage. I was given the gate codes for both gates to give me access to docks and a slip number. I am very thankful for this. It would not take much to put in three buoys so visiting boaters would have some place to tie up to for the night.
This was implemented at the end of the lake at Penticton with great result. The buoys were installed and this was advertised to the public and boaters came and spent there money in Penticton. In the end I enjoyed my stay in your village. The food, people and weather are wonderful. You have a piece of paradise here. Make it easy for the boaters to enjoy it too. Many times in the two hours that it took to find Moorage I was tempted to get on the boat and go elsewhere, thereby bypassing Nakusp. I would have missed a great experience had I gone on down the lake. Thanks to everyone that made it possible to stay overnight. Guy Requier Edmonton, AB
Geography should dictate electoral boundaries Editor, This letter is a request to the Provincial commission to reexamine the mandates of readjustment considerations before redrawing the electoral boundaries once again. I maintain climate change should be our number one consideration. According to the 2007 Government of Canada report on climate change From Impacts to Adaptation, Canada in a Changing Climate 2007: “It needs to be understood that there will be no return to the previous ‘normal.’ Instead, we face an ongoing process of change that will continue for decades to centuries. It is therefore not a case of planning for a different stable future climate, but of building the capacity and flexibility to cope with whatever evolving climate may bring in the future. This is not uncertainty regarding whether climate will change, but rather about the speed and magnitude
of climate change over time.” British Columbia’s Provincial Emergency Program (BC-PEP) reports that from 2003 to 2005, the frequency, severity and costs of extreme weather events causing personal and economic losses due to infrastructure damage rose dramatically as a result of wildfires, storm surges, heavy rains causing flooding and landslides, and drought. Warmer winter weather, resulting in ice jams, freezing rain and rain-on-snow events, also resulted in economic losses. These events cost B.C. taxpayers an average of $86 million per year in payouts of disaster financial assistance, compared to an average of $10 million per year from 1999 to 2002. This increase is consistent with increasing weather-related hazards, as documented in the Canadian Disaster Database 2003; Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness Canada, 2006b.”

The supersaturation slide at Johnsons’ Landing illustrated how poorly prepared the Kootenay region is to cope with what is forecast to become a regular occurrence in the region by the Federal Report. Climate change could cause an increase in supersaturation slides that would interrupt Columbia Basin river flows and electrical supplies to the province of B.C. and downstream U.S.A. It is completely within the realm of possibility that such a slide could cause an inland tsunami that overwhelms an upriver dam, causing a catastrophic domino effect down river. Given the many serious consequences of climate change, of which the above is only one, I propose that geography and historical patterning trumps population numbers in regards to mandate considerations for responsible climate change adaptation and mitigation. Presently the Columbia Basin river system is split between separate riding boundaries, cutting the river system into north and south sections. Our federal representative should have direct contact with the Columbia Basin dam manager, and have a complete overview of the river systems - identifying potential problem areas and have an emergency team response in place. It would be much more efficient to have all the electrical generation and reservoir dams in one riding. I point out that our elected representatives will be working much harder for us all in response to climate change.”To cope effectively with climate change there must be a strong
understanding of the issue. This requires knowledge of potential impacts and vulnerabilities, of projected changes in climate and of adaptation processes and decision-making. It is important to recognize key gaps in present knowledge, as well as the need to maintain sources of data. Identifying systems, activities and populations that are currently vulnerable to climate impacts provides one basis for determining short-term priorities for adaptation measures. Co-operation within and between all levels of government, the private sector and civil society, as well as the research community, is essential. As in other public policy areas, serious consequences can flow from failures of integration and co-operation” (Gov’t of Canada 2007). Climate change asks us to be practical above all else, and for us to look more closely at our physical surroundings so we are aware of the safety issues pertaining to local climate change. Federally, provincially and locally, climate change adaptation preparations and discussions appear to be almost nonexistent. All public servants should be familiar with the consequences of climate change. Clearly our federal and provincial electoral districts should be designed to prioritize efficiency in co-operation between geographically inter-related communities. We would be able designate local technicians to geo-hazard map the entire region, likewise appoint technicians and emergency response systems to deal with over-full dams, washed out bridges, slides, fires, devastating
winds, stranded communities, medical emergencies and interrupted communication networks. Federally, provincially and locally, we residents must customdesign the best adaptive climate change plan for our region. Electoral boundaries determine the area of response that our Federal Elected Representative will have to deal with. That is why I feel so strongly that we must keep our electoral region within specific geographicallyrelated areas. I personally feel that from north of Revelstoke Lake-east to Creston-south by Trail and Rossland to the U.S.A. border and west to Castlegar and Edgewood contains our geographical area within reachable winter access boundaries (avalanche occurrences) and within the Columbia and Kootenay river drainages. Canada must take climate change seriously, if it is to adapt successfully, with an environment and economy intact. The success of the adaptation will be in the hands of our elected representatives and their ability to maneuver within their realistically manageable ridings. How do the population numbers add up for the electoral mandate considerations? Presently the population numbers are well within the plus/minus 25 per cent, begging the issue of electoral readjustment at this time. If boundaries are to be readjusted at all, they should be done so first and foremost to accommodate the serious threat of climate change. Susan Eyre Yahk, B.C.

Swift recognition slow for most Luck with driver in Halfway rollover By Claire Paradis Arrow Lakes News
A rollover near Halfway River Bridge Road on Highway 23 resulted in a trip to Vernon General Hospital, but nothing more serious. The driver, a 32-year-old man, was the only occupant travelling southbound from the Galena Bay ferry in the red Ford pickup when it crossed the double solid line and crashed into the ditch on the other side of the road. “The vehicle flipped at least once and landed on its rooftop,” said a statement from Constable Shaun Foley of the Nakusp RCMP. “The
truck’s roof crushed inward from the vehicle’s weight and the force generated from the collision.” The driver was monitored at the Arrow Lakes Hospital overnight, then taken to Vernon General where he was examined further. Fortunately, and incredibly, no serious injuries were found. The RCMP do believe that both speed and alcohol were involved in the crash, and are investigating the matter further. They are looking for witnesses who may have seen the collision or the vehicle while it was on the highway prior to the crash, and urge them to call the Nakusp RCMP.
Dog days of summer This is an update for everyone who may have noticed and wondered about the missing dog picture a few weeks back. Angel has returned and is getting better day by day, thanks to the help of some good neighbours, friends and local veterinarian Laurie Page.

Gary Davidson Birds of Nakusp There is a family of birds found throughout the world that is not well known to most casual observers. They are the swifts. There are four species of swifts in Canada, three of which can be found in the West Kootenays. Black Swifts and Vaux’s Swifts are seen regularly around Nakusp, White-throated Swifts are found only along dry rocky cliffs such as those near Syringa Creek. Scientists have long been undecided as to whether this group of birds is most closely related to the nighthawks or the hummingbirds. General appearance and behaviours would suggest nighthawks, but recent DNA comparisons suggest hummingbirds are their closest relatives. Swifts are superb fliers and
in fact spend most of their life in the air. During the long days of summer they will spend fifteen to eighteen hours a day flying. Sleeping and nesting are the only things that cannot be done in the air. Copulation is thought to occur in mid-air, and they can also “roost” in mid-air. This aerial roosting is accomplished by finding suitable air currents that allow them to remain aloft with minimal effort. Recent studies even suggest that they may take brief cat-naps on the wing! When seen in the air, swifts, particularly the Vaux’s Swift, are sometimes mistaken for swallows. Their general appearance and feeding behaviours are certainly similar. But a closer look will reveal some telltale differences. Swallows have much broader wings and a more substantial tail. Swifts have much narrower wings and in many species, a much shorter tail. Furthermore, swifts fly on very stiff wings that appear not to flex as the wing flaps. Black Swifts also have the stiff winged look but the entire length of the wing is a gentle backward curve. With a little practice even the beginning birder can see these differences between swallows and swifts.

Both the Vaux’s and the Black Swifts are dark in colour, the Black a little darker. At first this might seem to be enough to separate them from swallows, but when watching flying birds from below against a bright sky, colour on the undersides if often very difficult to determine. The White-throated Swift is very similar in size and shape to the Black Swift, but a close look will reveal the black and white pattern of the White-throated. Vaux’s Swifts frequently nest inside hollow trees where they suspend their nests on the inside walls. They will sometimes use chimneys in the same manner. Saliva is one of the main components of these nests. It serves as the glue that holds the whole thing together. One species of swift found in Asia, makes it nest entirely of saliva. These form the main ingredient in the making of bird’s nest soup. White-throated and Black Swifts are generally cliff nesters. Black Swifts usually build on high remote cliffs, often in association with waterfalls. Only a very small number of nests have ever been found in B.C.

Photos focus on females from the far-flung
Toadfest 2012 rocks a new look
“WOMAN” focuses its lens on, well, women in a show at Studio Connexion in Nakusp.

“WOMAN” is a new exhibition of Fine Art Photography by Hills artist Patrizia Menton. The show will feature a selection of Patrizia’s favorite images of women from different countries and backgrounds. These photographs are both in colour as well as black and white, and Patrizia still shoots on film and print with the traditional process. Menton was born in Italy and grew up there as well as in Germany, moving to Canada in her early twenties. Her love for visual arts led her to study photography and print making
ANNUAL
in Vancouver. She has shown extensively here and abroad. Truly inspired by architecture and the natural world, Patrizia finds that people are also very fascinating subjects. She had wanted to put together a series like this for a very long time. The special series WOMAN explore the female presence in the modern world. Studio Connexion Gallery is showing the only photography exhibition of their season from August 28 to September 15. The reception for the artist will be held on Friday, August 31 from 5 to 8 p.m. Everyone is welcome. Studio Connexion is located at 203 5th Avenue in Nakusp.

By Claire Paradis Arrow Lakes News
Amid all the usual bucket-twirling kids and terrarium-terrorized toads and snakes, this year’s Toadfest put on by the Fish and Wildlife Compensation Program flaunted some new fun. Watch out Milan and Paris runways, the toad-shirt is sure to hit the ground crawling, catching whatever fashion flies its way! Yes, this year the two-day celebration of the great Western Toad migration across Highway 6 and up the mountain had t-shirts commemorating the toadlets’ epic struggle to get to the other side. A striking green emblazoned with “Toadfest 2012” and a swath of toadlet silhouettes smeared diagonally across the shirt (whole, not roadkilled), the shirts are sure to be a hit when worn by anyone with a love of toads and fifteen bucks. Kootenay fashionistas, beware! If you didn’t buy your shirt, you’re already so last season. If, like me, you forgot to bring cash, the only green you too will be wearing this year will be envy. Better luck in 2013.
Maia and Sophia are wearing complementary pink and purple which offsets the toad green. CLAIRE PARADIS/ARROW LAKES NEWS

You are on a roll, Aries, and now it is just a matter of maintaining the momentum for a few more days. Don’t let anyone slow you down this week.
Libra, no one will know who you truly are unless you share a few secrets. You don’t have to give everything away, but allow others in by sharing some personal September 23– information. October 22
Taurus, there are many opportunities within your reach, but you are not sure which way to go. Seek advice from Sagittarius when you get a spare moment.
Scorpio, though you don’t shy away from challenges, you do know when to pick your battles. When something inconsequential comes up this week, let it pass.
October 23– November 21
Others can see you haven’t been yourself lately, Gemini. So relax and take a break from something that’s been bothering you, and you will return to being your old self. You won’t be disappointed.
Sagittarius, when a past conflict resurfaces this week, push it aside because that is ancient history. It is better to focus on the positive things that are in store November 22– for you.
Now is not the time for dawdling, Cancer. You have a full plate of things to tackle and it seems like the hours will be slipping away. Recharge and get focused.
Capricorn, when you love someone, it can be difficult to step aside and let this person make his or her own choices. But this is what you have to do for December 22– lessons to be learned.
Leo, don’t let anyone discourage you when tackling a big project. As you have proven time and again, you simply need to establish a goal and your efforts will help you achieve it. Virgo, though you may not know where your path will lead this week, you are deeply aware that an adventure is in store. Take some time to prepare your mind and body.

Public consultation not sought for ATV club application Con’t from page 1 Province of B.C. Recreation Officer Ken Gibson said he’s nearing a decision on the application. The project is a ‘Section 57’ application under the provincial forestry act, used for public projects such as mountain bike trails. The process does not involve a public review. “If we did this for every application we wouldn’t get anywhere,� Gibson told the Times Review. Stakeholders are
being consulted, Gibson said, including the Arrowhead Conservation Society. The conservation society is seeking to maintain the heritage of the ghost town and has conducted surveys and other research in recent years. The Times Review spoke with a member of the ACS, but he wasn’t available for comment by press time. Kohlman said the ATV club would work with the conservation society on the trail project.

VEHICLE OPERATORS: September 4, 2012 will be the official opening of school for School District No. 10 (Arrow Lakes) 2012/13 session. We like to remind motorists to watch out for children walking to school or waiting for school buses. ALTERNATE FLASHING LIGHTS: School buses are equipped with alternate flashing red lamps and when they are flashing, traffic in both directions must stop and remain stopped until the red flashing lamps are turned off. The flashing lights are to indicate the school bus is loading or unloading school children. IT IS AN OFFENCE UNDER THE MOTOR VEHICLE ACT TO PASS A SCHOOL BUS WITH ITS OVERHEAD RED LIGHTS FLASHING.
Where Bus service is not available, Transportation Assistance may be provided to eligible parents who apply for assistance. Remember to apply in September as Transportation Assistance is paid starting at the beginning of the month when submitted and not retroactive to the beginning of the school year.
SCHOOL ZONES: Motorists driving through School Zones between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. must use caution and restrict speed to 30 km/hr.
