Schools mark Pink Shirt Day Throughout School District 83, Pink Shirt Day is being celebrated in a variety of ways, but all with the same message about kindness towards others and intolerance of bullying behaviour. “Pink Shirt Day is a great opportunity for schools to reinforce what we teach everyday about how to treat each other,” says Alan Harrison, principal at Bastion Elementary. Staff and students at Armstrong Elementary are promoting wearing pink to raise awareness. T-shirts were sold through the Boys and Girls Club and the grades 4 and 5 classes will be participating in an activity put on by the local Boys and Girls Club focusing on the role of the bystander. M. V. Beattie Elementary School has sold pink shirts and bracelets so they will be wearing pink. There will also be two cyber-bullying presentations. Their PAC is serving soup and pink scones from Hungry Jacks. There is an assembly in the morning featuring a song dedicated to the memory of Amanda Todd, a video about Molly Burke, the history behind pink shirt day, a class is singing the remake of True Colours which addresses bullying, the primary students are sharing poetry, and all the students are learning the lyrics to Stand up, which will be sung to close the assembly. The assembly is run by three grade 7 students who have
planned the day for their social responsibility project. At Bastion Elementary, all students and staff are encouraged to wear something pink on the 27th. This could be anything from a piece of ribbon pinned to a shirt, to pink socks, to a streak of colour in the hair. Any of these give the message, “We stand up to bullying and will not stand by and let it happen.” Bastion teachers will support this message through lessons and literature sharing on Pink Shirt Day. At Shuswap Middle School, the school-wide Pink Shirt Day assembly will be on February 27th. They are also doing an in-class school-wide activity leading up to the assembly where students are submitting their own designs and messages for the Pink Shirt, some of which will be used in the assembly. As well, official Pink Shirt Day T-shirts will be given away during the assembly. Following Pink Shirt Day, on March 6 there will be two grade level assemblies for students provided by Safe OnLine Outreach Society. This is a mere sampling of the ways in which the schools are marking this important day.

Keeping kids moving
It is obvious we could more than fill ALL of the pages of this paper with the research that shows exercise is one of the most important parts of a healthy lifestyle. However, converting this into real-life habits for the whole family can sometimes be a challenge. So, in order to ensure children make exercise a part of their daily lives and continue to do so for a lifetime, there are some easy yet imperative steps parents must take. I will give you four simple ways to keep your kids regularly active. Lead by example. Both consciously and unconsciously, your children are constantly learning and forming lifestyle habits by observing their parents actions. An adult couch potato is almost guaranteed to raise a new generation of couch potatoes. In order to break this dangerous cycle of inactivity that will lead to a lifetime of disease and suffering for your kids, start increasing your own activity levels. One of the many jobs of a successful parent is to show your children the importance of exercise. Make time. Today’s busy lives can easily take up all of the hours of the day eliminating the time for exercise. While we may not be able to regularly find an extra four hours for an epic hike or workout, we need to ensure at least 30 minutes of exercise for everyone is planned and prioritized every day. Unplug. Children today have access to so many electronic gadgets, it is easy to not realize how many hours in a day are actually spent sitting in front of the TV, computer, or other devices. Schedule a regular time every day when all the gadgets are turned off and
some sort of physical activity is done by everyone. Getting the kids to get away from the computer or TV screen will also promote more healthy communication among the family members. Make it fun. It is true for adults as much as for children. If an activity is not enjoyable and fun to do, it usually will not be continued for very long. Exercise for the whole family needs to be fun and not a chore. Every child’s personality and interests are unique. Parents need to help their children find activities that involve physical exertion that they enjoy doing. While many parents may want their child to be the next Wayne Gretzky or Sidney Crosby, only a fraction of kids have the interest and drive to commit to the thousands of hours required for such a lofty goal. Communicate and observe your kids closely to ensure they are still enjoying what they are doing. If the family absolutely needs a superstar hockey player in the family, then get Dad onto an “old guys” team where the scouts are always watching... And most importantly, playing sports to best of one’s ability requires a healthy functioning nervous system, correct posture, and a strong core. Chiropractic care is an essential element to any professional sportsperson’s regime. Athletes put intense demands on their body and are required to be functioning at optimal health. If it’s good enough for the pros, shouldn’t you and your family benefit too?! For more information about living a healthy lifestyle contact the chiropractors at Harbourfront Family Chiropractic at (250) 803-0224.

Grapefruit has two faces
Grapefruit has a rather recent history, having been discovered in Barbados in the 18th century, and is known for its nutritional value as it contains vitamins C, A folate and B5 (pantothenic acid). Its potassium content also makes it an excellent dietary fiber. The rich pink and red colors of grapefruit are due to lycopene, a carotenoid phytochemical, which appears to have an anti-tumor activity. Among the common dietary carotenoids, lycopene has the highest capacity to help fight oxygen-free radicals, compounds that can damage cells. Moreover, phytochemicals in grapefruit called limonoids inhibit tumor formation. Grapefruit has also been used in lowering cholesterol and in supporting weight loss. However, for the past few year’s grapefruit’s other face has surfaced. This other face shows a lot of drug interaction with certain medications. This interaction becomes important for seniors, as seniors are more likely to be on medication. Consuming grapefruit or its juice can increase, or less commonly decrease, the effects of some drugs. There are several substances in grapefruit that interfere with the way your body handles certain drugs. For example, it interferes with some drugs that are used in the treatment of medical conditions including, but not limited to, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, angina, anxiety, cancer, convulsions, depression, erectile dysfunction, gastrointestinal reflux, HIV/AIDS, infections, irregular heart rhythms, organ graft rejection, and psychotic problems. As little as one glass of grapefruit juice (8 oz. or 250 ml) can cause an increased blood drug level and the effects can last for three days or more. The adverse effects of taking grapefruit with certain medication vary from one person to another, from one drug to another, and from one grapefruit juice preparation to another. The good news is that other citrus fruits, such as lemons, limes, and naturally sweet oranges and tangerines are not thought to have this effect.

What he saw during his years on the Force, particularly his last five years, prompted Gordon to write his book. “I was seeing homeless kids that didn’t mind being homeless. They were filthy and they didn’t care. You slam a cell door on a 16-year-old and they don’t care. A total common denominator that I saw, was no respect. They didn’t care; there was no ‘bad’’–‘if you don’t like what I do, what’s it to you?’” He asked himself why this was happening; why did these young people have this attitude? “Let’s get away from all this psychology– and I’m not saying psychology is bad–but it’s basic common sense: talk to your kids, listen to your kids. Communicate properly, showing love. It’s so basic and wonderful and takes no effort.” Gordon had been retired for a few years before he seriously got to work on his book. Even after the manuscript was done, it sat around for a while but the few people who had read it urged him to publish it. The book may be about a magical journey, but its message is all about down-to-earth core values. Along the journey, the characters find the importance of friendship, loyalty, integrity, selflessness, kindness, listening and keeping promises. But it’s all done without preaching. “If a teacher or parent reads it and discusses it [with the children], that’s where they can learn–it stays with them longer. There’s humour, suspense, adventure. You can cheer, laugh and cry. It’s a child’s book, but grown men read it and cry.” ***** Celesta’s Magical Journey is available at Salmon Arm bookstores.

As Gordon Allen is paying for his coffee, a lady in line comments on his “beautiful hair.” He seems a little embarrassed, but his hair, in a way, has played in role in who he is several weeks of the year: Santa Claus. “It started as something to do. I had done it for charities except the last two years,” he explains. That’s when he became the West Edmonton Mall Santa. Yet, because of his dedication, his ‘job’ is not confined to the usual routine. He spends countless hours every year writing personalized letters from St. Nick to sick children he has met over the years. And Santa plays a role in a book Gordon has written and published that is now available in bookstores in Salmon Arm. “It’s all Canadian; everyone who worked on the book is Canadian,” Gordon says with some pride. Celesta’s Magical Journey is a story of a young mermaid who makes a dangerous journey with her friends Wakanda, the orca, and Croft, the harp seal, to the North Pole to meet Santa Claus. Interestingly, the inspiration came from his years on the Toronto Police Force. Comparing his own childhood to many of those he saw, he wanted to give young people a message: “Aspire to be better, kinder and dream of being anything you want. Don’t be afraid.” Gordon was born in Toronto and had what he calls a ‘Beaver Cleaver’ upbringing. They never had a lot, but it was a happy home and he a lot of good friends. His decision on his future career was firmly entrenched when he just started school. “Queen Elizabeth came to Toronto in 1959, to open a municipal building. I stood waving my Union Jack. I don’t think I knew what a queen was. There was a motorcycle cop, and I couldn’t take my eyes off him. He was fascinating; he was the greatest man I had ever seen. I wanted to be like him. He left an indelible impression. It was my dream [to become a policeman] and I made it come true.” In his years on the Toronto Police Force, Gordon did get to ride motorcycles, as well as horses.

An 85-year-old Kamloops man drove through a red light and did not stop for a woman on the crosswalk, injuring her terribly. The story appeared on the front page of a Kamloops paper on Feb. 7 because not only is the man charged with driving without due care and attention, the 20-year-old girl’s family is suing him for claims such as loss of income and earning capacity, and future care costs. George Newsham wants me to correct my mistake by advising people to look right and then left before proceeding into a line of traffic or crossing a street. He wrote: “When you get to an intersection you always look left, right, left. Not right left right, as the traffic from the left is closer than the one from the right.”
TWO FULL DAYS IN VICTORIA
I drove to the coast last week, and spent two days in Victoria visiting the kids. My two sons treated me to lunch at the Jewish Community Centre. I enjoyed blintzes, or crepes, my favourite! I spent an hour making perogies with 15 people at the Ukrainian Catholic Church, and visited with a former Salmon Arm person as we sat together and worked, wearing hairnets and aprons. One evening I watched my 10-year-old grandson’s basketball game, and remembered how my father watched every hockey game that his grandsons played in the Watson arena. My 12-year-old granddaughter said, “Baba, I have a secret admirer.” He had slipped a card with a ring under her locker door. The unsigned note said she was beautiful. Victoria has many elderly seniors who are having accidents on the road. And many seniors who are having dementia and are taking a new pill. One day I couldn’t remember a word, and son-number-one asked, “Would you like one of the dementia pills?”
TWO GREAT DAYS IN VANCOUVER
I visited with two close friends at the coast: Olga, my room-mate through three years of nurse’s training; and Karen, whose parents are my best friends, who works down-
town, and whose stories I enjoy of her motherhood to a baby girl she adopted from China nine years ago. I spent several hours walking through downtown Vancouver as a tourist and seeing the many changes that I had previously seen only on TV. At the huge Wellness Show at the trade and convention centre, at one exhibitor’s booth I stepped on a scale in my bare feet and held two sensors that were connected to it. Much like a computer that reads a car’s entire system, this one read the health of my cells. I am 74 years old, and the computer said that at the cellular level, I am 61. I was SO happy! Son-number-one and I visited the owners of a house that we had owned for four years before moving to Salmon Arm in 1970. It was a fixer-upper that we modernized. Before we moved away, I put in the linen closet a picture of the “before” and notes of all our changes to the house. Last week we were amazed to see that they removed all our changes and gave the house the look it had before we began our project. They made many changes and expansions inside and out, and it is beautiful! During a walk through Granville Island, we came across a small health food store in the Edible Canada market, and found a product from Saskatchewan called Camelina oil produced by Three Farmers. I’ll write more about it later.

Regarding ‘Myths and facts on OCP,’ by Paul Dememok; Shuswap Market, Feb. 8/13 We read it’s a ‘myth’ that “the OCP has not been adequately reviewed by the public.” There were two public forums, no newsletters, and little content releases in the seven years. Few go to unadvertised OPC advisory meetings. Did they mention the creation of a Village at Balmoral? Will it adversely affect businesses in Sorrento? A ‘Village Centre’ at Balmoral is new to the public. Did the OCP content reach the public? A “Myths and Facts” article states that “every comment was reviewed and considered.” These comments are written submission letters compiled into three OCP binders. We found just

five letters unenthusiastically agreeing with the new Medium Density zoning. One person wrote strongly-worded letters for it. What is your conclusion? It does not mention the TC highway concerns, so prominent in people’s letters. Many dislike ‘’urban sprawl” clogging the TCH. The Ministry of Transportation has put an underpass where the present plan indicated there is a population density need. Major density will be at Balmoral Corner where there is no underpass. Did the OCP listen to people’s concerns about a dangerous intersection? All city planners admit we need our agricultural land. The “myths and facts” article says that in 2012, “substantial chang-

es” were made “because of your comments” for the “protection of farmland.” Is it then sensible to take a large piece of property out of the ALR for urban development? All city planners admit they could use their city centres better. There would be less bussing of children. Seniors would be able to get to services easily. TRUE consultant was paid $100,000 and said the ‘Town Centre’ should be in Sorrento. Is the OCP listening? The mantra is ‘it has to go somewhere.’ Is it greed that says we need another urban centre? We should keep nature where nature belongs, and enjoy what the government describes as ‘Super, Natural BC.’ Larry Pilcher, Balmoral

Protectionism is not a dirty word
I see that the Conservatives’ “Ministry of Truth” has done its work on Hank Shelley. While decrying “the growing wave of imported goods” in his February 15th column, Mr. Shelley points a finger at “labour organizations’ demands” as one of the causes of driving companies overseas. What Mr. Shelley neglects to mention is the fact that free trade agreements have enabled multinational corporations bent on maximizing profits and returns to shareholders to move that production offshore. Union or not, as long as any Canadian worker is earning more than the sweatshop and child labour wages in other countries, corporations will continue to move. As long as there is a “more favorable business climate” elsewhere (read “no worker or environmental protection”), how can we expect Canadian manufacturers to remain competitive? If free trade had benefits, we should be seeing them after all these decades. What do we see instead? Record levels of personal and national debt, declining real purchasing power, a well-documented “hollowing out” of the middle class, persistently high levels of unemployment, national and global economies teetering on the
edge of chaos, a current accounts balance in shambles, and a widening gap between the wealthy and the poor are just some of the visible signs that there is a real problem. Free trade enables the free export of union and non-union jobs alike. And it enables the importation of cheap and sometimes dangerous goods produced in other countries. Does that mean we have to continue the race to the bottom for the working people of Canada? Not at all, but first we will have to confront and overcome the ideological bent that says it’s a global free-for-all. Protectionism is not a dirty word. It means looking after our own. However, the IMF, the WTO, and every neoclassical economist in the world (including our own Mr. Harper) will slavishly continue to promote free trade as some sort of panacea for our ills. Given the results to date of free trade, protectionism is worth thinking about again. But, Mr. Shelley, blaming the unions is simply repeating the propaganda that the Conservatives want everyone to believe, as they continue with their agenda of destroying this country.

Kindness appreciated
In January I was one of many who was affected by the Greyhound bus seat shortage. I had a ticket from Salmon Arm to Penticton, and the bus never showed up. The people that run the Salmon Arm depot went the extra mile to help out everyone as much as possible. I was very impressed with the way they handled a very negative situation and made it positive, and I asked them for their names. They are Warren and Cheryl Keen, and they not only let us stay in the depot which was to be closed for six hours, they made coffee and brought in donuts. If the depot was closed we would have been out in the cold for those hours. There was a TV in the depot that they turned on to cartoons for a little three-year-old who was with his dad. If this is a reflection of the people who reside in Salmon Arm, you live in a wonderful community. I have told a lot of people of my experience and I will be back for a visit. A kind gesture lasts a lifetime, and I will always remember your kindness. Thank you! Trudy Baker, Okanagan Falls

Congratulations to Chris & Jen Fowler of Pure Life Photography The Foundation extends their appreciation for the generous donation made to the Hospital’s Pediatric ward. The funds were generated from their unique, high quality photography business that photographed over forty new born babies in 2012. This included producing a publication containing a selection of pictures of each child “capturing the essence of new life”. In turn the Fowlers donated the normal sitting fee back to supporting pediatric care at this Hospital.

The house that defined a neighbourhood
By Deborah Chapman, Curator, Salmon Arm Museum at RJ Haney Heritage Village Ask anyone familiar with Salmon Arm’s historic areas “what neighbourhood has the greatest heritage appeal?” and the frequent reply is “Harris St., of course. You know the street name was changed to 2nd Ave NE in 1973, right?” The neighbourhood is a cluster of
well-kept buildings with character. The street is established with varied architecture, large lots, mature landscaping, and a proximity to the downtown core. It is also “green;” developed before every household had an automobile and garage. According to the BC Heritage Society, older neighbourhoods lend themselves to a more sustainable lifestyle.
DISTRICT OF SICAMOUS 2013 UTILITY BILLINGS HAVE BEEN MAILED
And the neighbourhood is exactly the type being celebrated during Heritage Week. Mid-block in the subdivision is the Bank Manager’s House, named for the Bank of Commerce manager who first lived in it. Of all the historic houses on the street, it is the best documented. In 1910 the Bank of Commerce set up a temporary headquarters on Hudson St. The following year it established a greater presence. A new manager, A. J. Marlow, was brought in from Princeton. A crew began a new “sectional” building on a stone foundation that was officially opened in November. Earlier in the year the Commerce also purchased a building site in the Lyman View subdivision, on upper Harris Street. Vanderest and Parkes was awarded the contract to build a bungalow for $3000. Once completed, the new manager and his family moved in.
Ninety-nine years later, the Bank Manager’s house was placed on the City of Salmon Arm’s Heritage Register as an excellent example of Edwardian bungalow design inspired by the Arts and Crafts movement. According to the Register, the house is significant for its location. It announces and defines a street that was the location of

Sorrento 100 celebration successful
The Heart of the Shuswap keeps beating, and the pulse is strong! This is the feeling that was communicated loud and clear as Sorrento celebrated its centennial year in 2012. The tempo in the community never slowed once. Barry Stokes, Chair of the Sorrento 100 Committee said, “Our slogan, ‘Sponsors make it possible—volunteers make it happen!’ held true throughout the year.” He went on to say, “My heartfelt thanks to each and everyone one of our sponsors, to each and everyone of our volunteers.” In the final tally, sponsors con-
tributed in excess of $40,000 in addition to approximately $15,000 worth of donations in kind. This is a significant accomplishment for a small community. The success of the centennial festivities were celebrated recently at a Sponsors’ Appreciation Event with hors d’oeuvres and refreshments, giving the sponsors an opportunity to network and chat with their peers. Earlier in the autumn of 2012, the volunteers were honoured by the Churches and Food Bank of Sorrento who hosted a dinner to thank them. Almost 150 members of the community contributed tens

of thousands of volunteer hours to make it all happen. Maureen Brass who, as acting Chair during the winter months spent countless hours leading the parade, and then unexpectedly passed away, is greatly missed. The Sorrento 100 Committee would like to thank all who attended and enjoyed the various events. Through these events the heartbeat of the community shone through — sponsors and volunteers, residents and businesses — working and playing side-by-side. May the beat continue to go on, and on.

Duma the Road Warrior
up the driveway, Duma decided to follow us. I noticed this and tried to chase her back to the house multiple times. We live on a busy street and I just knew that her following us would spell trouble. My wife Kim told me to ignore her. However, as we continued to walk she continued to follow. It would be one thing to have her follow right behind us, but she was in the middle of the street weaving back and forth like it was her personal catwalk. It was driving me crazy, so I decided to pick her up and carry her. So after weaving all over the road myself trying to catch her, I finally managed to grab her and held her in my arms. Well, that lasted about four or five seconds until she started squirming and clawing me to get free. “Fine! Get run over, you stupid cat!” I yelled as she jumped out of my arms and back onto the road. Kim just rolled her eyes, having seen similar battles between me and the cat before. Suddenly I noticed two vehicles coming towards us. I thought to myself, “Here we go, the cat is toast!” As the cars passed by, Duma started sprinting along side the first car what seemed to be inches from its

Tom Fletcher, Black Press A children’s education fund set up by the B.C. government in 2007 is being distributed to parents, with a suggestion that they add to the fund for their kids’ education. Finance Minister Mike de Jong announced in Tuesday’s budget that payouts of $1,200 will be made from the fund for each child as they turn six years old. To qualify, registered parents have to open a Registered Education Savings Plan and apply for the grant before their child turns seven. Eligible children are those born on or after Jan. 1, 2007, resident in B.C. with an RESP account set up by Feb. 28, 2014. The budget also provides $32 million over three years for new childcare spaces, and a new early childhood tax benefit for families with young children, to take effect in April 2015. It would provide up to $55 per month for children up to age six, administered through the Canada Child Tax Benefit system. De Jong noted that an RESP is applicable to vocational, trade and college programs as well as university.
Hospice volunteer training
by Daron Mayes
So how did you enjoy your first-ever Mall Arkey Day, or as the provincial government calls it, “Family Day” last week? The Mall Arkey Day originator (Mall Arkey Senior) is accepting Thank You cards, but you’ll have to mail them General Delivery, Somewhere in the Baja, Mexico. You might have a better chance putting a message in a bottle and throwing it into the Pacific. I can see him right now dipping his toes into the ocean, wearing his big sombrero and waiting for your notes of appreciation. As for me, Family Day was highlighted with watching my cat almost becoming a pavement pancake. To this point, the cat hasn’t explored much beyond our yard. I mean she spends all day long in stealth mode trying to sneak in any door or open window she can find. She is determined to get inside in order to scratch my favourite chair and eat any cheese left on the counter. So she’s not exactly adventurous. The one time she did explore, she was locked in our shed for hours (refer to Jan 18 article). Anyway, my wife decided the two of us should go for a walk. I reluctantly agreed, knowing I could use a little exercise. However, as we started

The second vehicle was right behind and again just missed running her over as she continued her sprint down the road towards our house. Finally, just as she was about to eat some high speed rubber she turned and ran into the neighbour’s yard. I shook my head at the crazy animal. Kim just kept walking, shaking her head at me. When we got home we found Duma by the back door looking somewhat frazzled and ready to be let into the house. She survived this time around, but seemed to have lost one of her nine lives. After watching the whole thing I think I might have lost one too!

Carol Creasy • 250-835-8587 Tax News from Susan Grimes at H&R Block Choosing which tax professional to prepare your taxes is an important decision. You should feel confident that your specialist has the required knowledge and you should be made to feel welcome when you visit their office and not an interruption of their busy day. Cost of their services is also a consideration but not always the main one. You need to ensure that your taxes are being prepared on site by the professional interviewing you and not being given to a third party who is working from home. You may also want to know how long they have been operating in your town. Beware of companies offering gimmicks and exceedingly low preparation fees - they may not be in business for long & if your taxes are reviewed they may not be there to help you. We have been operating in Salmon Arm for 30 years & an example of our service at H&R Block is the following story. A gentleman whose sister in law had prepared and filed his 2009, 2010 and 2011 tax returns came to see us. He had received notices of assessments from the CRA telling him that based on the returns filed he owed them $3800. He asked me to take a “second look” which we offer at no charge to the client unless we can make beneficial changes, then our normal fee applies. After making several adjustments to these returns he ended up owing zero to CRA and getting a refund of $700. All in all a $4500 savings. He was extremely happy to pay our fee and is now a loyal client. Having someone other than a professional prepare your taxes could be costing you money.

Wireless expert speaks locally
By Gabrielle Klein, ShuswapNorth Okanagan Smart Meter Awareness Initiatives Have you ever wondered if your exposure to the radiation from the wireless devices in your life might be harmful? Such devices include your cell phone, new wireless Hydro Smart Meter, wireless internet connection, cordless phones, microwave ovens, and even your wireless baby monitor – they all emit radiation. At this session you will learn of scientific evidence that strongly suggests that we must take precautions to protect ourselves and our loved ones against the multi-layers of electromagnetic radiation EMR.
You will also learn more about our rights as citizens in a free and democratic society when it comes to the issues around Smart Meters, their routers, antennae collectors, etc., that are part of the Smart Grid being imposed in this province and all over the world. Jerry Flynn is a retired Canadian military wireless communications expert with over 22 years’ experience in the field of Electromagnetic Radiation (EMR) and Radio Frequencies Intelligence. Jerry worked with Canada’s military and its allies around the world, including NATO forces, as an expert on the vulnerabilities and dangers of wireless radio systems. He claims wireless technology is very vulnerable to
eavesdropping and even cyber-attack. And yes, wireless technology is a clear (although invisible) and all-too-present danger to your health. Jerry Flynn will be speaking in Salmon Arm on Tuesday, February 26, 7-9 pm at the First United Church Hall, corner of 5th St. S.E. and Okanagan. Mr. Flynn is completing a speaking tour of the Lower Mainland, Vancouver Island, Salt Spring, and Sechelt, with his last stop being Salmon Arm. Admission is by donation with a suggested minimum amount of $5.00 to cover expenses which include a DVD and handouts for attendees.

Bugs Bunny and his wascally fwiends shuswapoutdoors
In the dark spruce grove off trail, the sudden swoosh of a raven’s wings above my head signalled trouble. Intense and sudden, the highpitched screaming of a rabbit broke the silence. Death was inevitable–the lynx had caught its prey. It had been close to the seven day cycle they use, passing across the trap line trail, out to Karen’s meadow/Beaver Lake. Lynx cubbies, were set for17 miles there, as we trapped the large plateau to lower range areas, at Postill Lake, high above Kelowna. The famous “I tawt I taw another wascally wabbitt,” was from the cartoons of Bugs Bunny–the world’s most famous bunny rabbit! Invented by Tex Avery and belonging to Warner Brothers

Studios, Bugs brought many happy hours to millions of kids in his day. But, in real life, that wascally wabbit still brings pleasure to the hunting fraternity. Mostly down east, and with the use of beagles. Too, the snowshoe hare is essential food for many lynx, bobcat, coyote, wolf, and cougar, when large prey are scarce. As well, the stuff of legends, at times, as food for survival, by Native and white trappers across the north in early days. Cubbies (lynx traps) consist of a four foot dry pine pole, nailed to a tree horizontally, 4 feet up, with 2 more, crossed/wired together, in front. Wood, and branches, bark, cover the sides. A aluminum pie plate or duck wing can be tied to swing in the wind. Oneida # 4 padded jump traps are used inside/out with a drag log. A caught, frozen snowshoe hare could sometimes be placed in the back of the set, but mice often nibbled on the fur. So a very smelly concoction, consisting of liquid fish fertilizer, chopped liver, anise seed, and coyote urine, is left out in the sun for a couple weeks; then placed in plastic jars for winter use. At each cubby, a dab is spread on a stick, then placed in the back. A lynx has large hairy padded paws, and can run on top of snow, chasing his quarry, as the bunny dashes and darts to escape. But, it’s hard to resist rolling in that dark, alluring place in a cold, snowy, windswept deep pine forest setting. Further to bunny dime es, was military time. Each platoon, while on military manoeuvres in June/July, at Wainwright, Alberta, had bivouac areas. Many retired soldiers here in town can remember the heat, sweat, tanks and trucks. Theirs, or others, like our First Battalion Patricia’s, being on hard rations consisting of a tin of meats, hard

biscuits, smarties, and tubes of jam or jelly. Heel-dug holes and green sticks were used with heat tablets to warm food, coffee, or tea. Our stomachs were so sore. Each night, snares were set for the jackrabbits. When caught, the rabbits were cleaned, cut up, and placed in a billy can; to be boiled up over an open fire, with a couple packs of chicken noodle soup, smuggled in from Service Corps. With many bunnies covered in ticks, orders finally came down to stop the practice. Like many species in nature, snowshoe hares run in a seven-year cycle, like the lynx. As the cycle declines (drops), lynx populations suffer, and will starve, although they could possibly survive on moles, mice and bugs. Then, there are the large white rabbits (in winter) that live by the hundreds in wheat fields at Regina. The

We, like them, had five sessions consisting of hand-to-hand combat, survival, firearms, drill, swimming, and first aid, or law/court procedure. To us hunters in our troop, the large bunch of big white bunnies scurrying about each morning was quite the sight! Many jokes were passed with a “windows down, Wild West shootem-up, boys” theme. But that waskelly wabbit, Bugs Bunny, will live on forever as a cartoon character. Let’s hope our lovely Canada Lynx, Lynx canadensis, although allusive and seldom seem, will be with us just as long!

Wildlife: Moose are feeding along the Trans Canada Highway from past Canoe mill to 112 Road, sometimes along the highway shoulder. Please be cautious on that stretch at night. A large bull moose is making his feeding area close to the Salmon Arm Golf Course – watch out for him as well. The cougars that were tracked around the Grandview Bench/Grindrod area had taken down farm animals (horses) as well as family dogs. This doesn’t happen too often, as mule deer are their usual prey. Wolf packs are competing to predate both moose/deer. One wolf pack is presently working elk and moose in RCMP training academy is a the Malakwa area.

Enjoying Little Mountain Park in winter
Little Mountain Park is a large, natural park located in a central area of Salmon Arm. It is popular with walkers year round and mountain bikers in the spring, summer and autumn. In winter, when there is enough snow on the ground, it is great fun to put on snowshoes and make a circuit on some or all of the approximate eight kilometres of interconnecting trails. On a typical winter day in the Shuswap, with valley cloud hiding the sun, I took my snowshoes to Little Mountain Park for an hour’s outing in the cool,
fresh air. First I circled around the Little Mountain Park soccer field. The snow was deep and I ploughed through the untracked areas, testing how deeply I dropped down through the top crust of snow. That became tiring after a while, so I headed for the trees and the trails behind the field. It became

evident immediately that the trails were well used, as they were firmly packed. Numerous yellow snow markings showed that this was a popular dog walking park, and indeed during my time in the park the only other people I saw were with their dog(s). I spent the next half hour or more on my snowshoes making a few loops of the trails on the west side. I didn’t go up to the summit of Little Mountain, but enjoyed some of the gentler trails through the cedar, fir and larch trees. The view from the top of the Little Mountain subdivision and the Fly Hills is well worth the effort, though,

especially on a fine day. The park is very pretty in winter, with the snow decorating the branches and bushes. Winter in a forest has a quietness and peacefulness, which adds to its beauty and to a visitor’s pleasure in the experience. As I made my way back across the sports field I promised myself that I would return after a fresh snowfall, which would give yet another slightly different experience.

Rising against violence Approximately 100 people attended the One Billion Rising rally on Valentine’s Day held in the Ross Street Plaza. The event was one of hundreds like it all over the world on Valentine’s Day; which, this year coincided with the 15th anniversary of V-Day, a global campaign most known for its Vagina Monologues plays that are performed throughout the world. V-Day stages gatherings, films, and campaigns to change attitudes about violence toward women.
Above left: Sharda Kieken draws attention to the number of missing women with a colourful sign. Below left: a group of women break into flash-mob style dance as part of the rally. Right: Grade twelve student Rachel Witt gives an impassioned speach about teenage victims of violence towards women. Photos by Howard Vangool.
Opportunities for stitching and relaxing at Quilt Week
By Kathy Kinsella We have an abundance of creative people in the Shuswap. Some of them create in solitude and others create in concert with artists of a similar mindset. I am actually one who works well alone, but I also crave the stimulating company of people who love to work and play with fabric and fibre. One of my favourite weeks of the year is Quilt Week at Sorrento Centre. It has been happening every spring for many years and the value of getting together with other quilters is astonishing. This year there will be three workshops to choose from, with instruction and assistance for your chosen project.
But the day doesn’t have to end at suppertime; participants are welcome to sew into the wee hours if they choose, or relax in one of the comfy lounges that are located in each lodge building. There is always the opportunity for a “field trip” to a nearby quilt shop and a show-and-tell evening with participants from all three workshops. This year, the workshops include “Salute to Scrap Quilts” with Dianne Jansson where you can use up fabric you already have to create a beautiful quilt based on the colour value of your fabrics, rather than the actual colour of the fabric. Dianne is simply the best at this and you will be guided to create an
exciting quilt. Lynn Knox will be teaching “Trail to Sorrento,” which can be made in a single or queen size on a light or dark background. It is a stunning quilt and easy to make–a suitable course for beginners and up. I will be teaching an artsy workshop called “Botanical Art Quilt: Surface Design.” The participants will create a small original art quilt based on leaves. I have picked and preserved lots of fall leaves that will be used as the basis for these quilts. There will be techniques taught and you will choose which ones you like best to incorporate in your work. This is a great workshop for
those who have yet to dip their toes in the art quilting pond but suitably challenging for those who are already experienced. This year the Quilt Week participants will check in on April 19 and depart on April 25th, after experiencing five days of instruction and creativity. This funfilled event is a retreat format with delicious meals, comfortable private rooms and lots of space to spread out to create your masterpiece. Registration is limited in each workshop; please register as soon as possible by phone (250-675-2421) or by checking out the course information and registration at www.sorrento-centre.bc.ca.

Lakeshore News travels to Kona, HI
Great grandma Anne Arychuk, her daughter Heather, granddaughter Rachel, and great granddaughter Shiloh, along with other members of the Albert Leyenhorst family, enjoyed a holiday in Kona on the big island of Hawaii. While Salmon Arm shoveled mountains of snow, they basked in the sunshine with a profusion of hibiscus, plumeria, and bougainvillaea. Surrounding their house was a profusion of tropical fruit, free for the pick-
ing. Besides harvesting coffee beans, the young men knocked down coconuts. They also enjoyed surfing, snorkelling, and swimming with dolphins. Anne is pictured here on the right, along with (from left) Heather, little Shiloh, and Rachel. Anne receives $10 for having her picture printed and is entered into the Lakeshore News Travels To contest for 2013.

Audition call
On Sunday, March 3rd and Monday, March 4th at 7:00 p.m., Shuswap Theatre will be holding auditions for The Herbal Bed, an emotional thriller set in the summer of 1613. Susanna Hall, daughter of William Shakespeare, has been accused of immoral behaviour by a drunken young gentleman and responds by charging him with slander. In those days such a charge was heard in the church court in Worcester Cathedral and so Susanna and all those involved must face an inquisition-like trial. The play runs April 26th to May 4th. Actors must be prepared to perform at the O-Zone Festival in Vernon on May 16th. If we are fortunate enough to be chosen as Best Production, we will perform again at the provincial Mainstage Festival in early July. Eight actors are needed: two women in their mid-twenties to mid-thirties (or able to play women that age); one young man in his early to mid-twenties; a man in his thirties; two men in their 40s to early 50s; a man aged 55 to 75; and a small girl able to play a five-year-old girl (small part). You are advised (though not required) to read the script before auditioning. Please contact the director, Kim MacMillan, to obtain a script at 250-8324094 or mackim2@me.com.
Theatre programs merge
For the balance of the spring season, the Salmon Arm and Sorrento Senior Theatre programs are being amalgamated with the Cedar Heights program. Sessions are being held at the Cedar Heights Community Centre at a new time—from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. on Wednesdays. Participants are working to present a Murder Mystery Dinner Theatre to be presented April 19th and 20th at the Log and Hearth Restaurant. The program is in support of the Relay for Life fundraising efforts of the Blind Bay Bunch. For more info call Peter at 250-675-3004.

SUDOKU
Capricorn, while you are glad to lend a helping hand when you are asked, the request that comes in this week could be so big that you may actually be caught off-guard.
AQUARIUS
It is hard to make progress this week, especially since it could feel like you’re going at a snail’s pace. Stick with it and everything on your list is likely to get done.
PISCES
Pisces, although you can certainly use your share of the limelight, let another person shine this week and you’ll have your own glow.
ARIES
Aries, direct your efforts toward helping other people. You may find you are more energized when helping others, and your efforts will be much appreciated.
TAURUS
Surround yourself with friends and family this week, Taurus. You should have some downtime, and you can use this time to catch up and reconnect with your loved ones.
GEMINI
Gemini, some levels of communication may be compromised this week, so your messages may not reach the intended recipient. It could take a little longer to get your point across.
CANCER
Cancer, your boundless energy keeps people happy and engaged and should be used as much as possible in the next few days. You also could be sought after to fix problems.
LEO
Leo, tap into your creative side to shake things up and stave off some boredom. Others may think your actions are suspect, but you know these efforts will help you achieve your ultimate goal.
VIRGO
You have to accept that things change and you cannot preserve the present, Virgo. That said, start making plans for new things for this year starting with right now.
LIBRA
Libra, although you are able to think quickly, you much prefer to have things organized. If you have a presentation to make next week, start working on it now.

By Mike Effray The Shuswap Swimming Team sent one swimmer to the Swimming Canada Western National Swimming Championships Swim Meet held in a 10 lane 25 metre pool in Saskatoon this past weekend. Bree Cooper was the lone swimmer in attendance at the competition, with hundreds of athletes represented from all over Canada at the competition, right up to and including swimmers who represented Canada at the Commonwealth, Pan Pacific, World Championship and Olympic Games. Cooper qualified to race at the competition in the 50 metre, and 100m Butterfly, as well as the 50m Freestyle races. This was Cooper’s second time at this National level competition, and she swam very well as she advanced to the finals in two of her three races at the competition. At the competition, Cooper’s times in the preliminaries of the 50m and 100m Butterfly races saw her advance to the finals in both races, with her best result from the preliminaries in the 50m Butterfly, where she missed the A final by a mere 1/100th of a second. In the finals, Cooper ended up in 12th place for the 100m Butterfly, and 13th place for the 50m Butterfly in the 15 & younger aged girls in those events. This was a great improvement over last season, where Cooper only qualified to race in a single event, and did not advance to the finals. Cooper now looks to the future as she heads to the Swim BC “AAA” Short Course Provincial Championship Swim Meet being held in Victoria on the February 28-March 3, 2013 weekend, and looks to perform even faster at the meet, building upon her success at the Western National Championships.

Strap on your big feet
Sightings of noticeably large bigfoot prints have been showing up throughout the Shuswap this winter! Snow conditions, combined with the hard work of many throughout the region over the last four years to blaze and maintain trails for snowshoe use, have resulted in an unprecedented explosion of local snowshoeing. This Sunday afternoon, the Shuswap Trail Alliance invites you to join in a late winter snowshoe walk on one of the region’s iconic trails in winter – the Enderby Cliffs – or as the cliffs are known in the traditional Secwepemc language: the Tplaqin trail.
“We’re walking to the first halfway lookout,” says Trail Alliance coordinator, Phil McIntyrePaul, “but the valley views are breathtaking, and the forest is peaceful at this time of year.” The interpretive walk is jointly sponsored by BC Parks and the Shuswap Trail Alliance. Together they have been working with the Splatsin community to better protect the unique ecology, geology, and cultural importance of the cliffs which is an area of significant importance within the Secwepemc Nation territory. Participants need to be in good physical shape, comfortable walking an intermediate (more difficult) trail uphill on snowshoes. Bring snowshoes and poles, plus water and appropriate clothing. To rent snowshoes, contact Skookum Cycle and Ski or John’s Ski Shack. Meet at the Enderby Cliffs parking lot, this Sunday afternoon, February 24th, 1:00 – 4:00 p.m. (end of Brash Allan Road just east of Enderby). Check out www.shuswaptrails.com for a description of the Enderby Cliffs Trail and directions to the trailhead. To find out more about trails throughout the Shuswap and the Shuswap Trail Alliance visit www.shuswaptrails.com.

Frank Halver “Bud” Rokosh
Obituaries
Frank Halver “Bud” Rokosh passed away in Bastion Place at 6:00 pm, February 12, 2013. He fought gracefully for 43 days, after being diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour on New Year’s Day. As he lived, he chose to die naturally; declining any invasive medical interventions. He is survived by his wife of almost 56 years, Alvina “Ellie”, his son Randy, daughter Jeanne, brother Roy, sister Yvonne “Bonnie”, and many extended family members and friends. He was predeceased by his Mother Alma, and his father Frank. Bud was born in Revelstoke, BC on December 29th, 1936. He grew up in Solsqua, BC. He met his wife Ellie in Sicamous, where they married and spent their lives. Bud was a pioneer in the Sicamous area and contributed to many of the businesses, buildings and events you see today. In his younger years, he was a voluntary loans officer for the Credit Union. Back then, currency was different, and Bud knew in order to support his friends and community members, he needed to be creative. He was known to take cows for loan guarantees. While the Managers were not always pleased with his approach, his team had the lowest loan default rate in the Valley. Bud also had a great love for music. He sang and played saxophone in countless bands in almost every hall in the Okanagan Valley. He and his wife built their first family home “on the hill” where they raised their children. He loved baseball and spent his young adulthood playing first base for the Eagles. He and his wife passed their love of baseball onto their children, with him coaching his son in Little League, while his wife coached their daughter in softball. He also loved the Shuswap Lake. He and his family could be found at Marble Point most Sundays in the summer. Bud was an avid lover of nature. If you ever went walking with him, you were bound to learn something you had never thought of, about how Mother Nature worked. Following his retirement, he became an avid fan of golfing and Tim Hortons. He loved his coffee. But his visits to Tim’s or the golf course were more about his conversations with friends, and his opportunity to visit both people he did and didn’t know. He will be forever remembered for his gentle and kind nature, his love of laughing, his kindness and compassion, and his tradition of Miller Time on Friday nights. At Bud’s request, he asked that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the Canadian Cancer Society. At the request of the family, arrangements for a memorial will be planned for the spring, with further details announced at a later date. Online condolences can be sent through Bud’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com Arrangements are in the care of Bowers Funeral Home, Salmon Arm.

Doreen Fell (nee Dallow) A kind, generous and loving lady, Doreen Fell, passed quietly in Salmon Arm on February 13, 2013 with her children beside her. Doreen was born on August 14, 1932 in Blackpool, England and was the last living child of her parents, Ethel (Stephens) Dallow and Douglas Dallow. Both of Doreen’s parents had passed by the time she was nine years old and she was raised by various relatives in England before deciding to venture off to Canada in April of 1953 to pursue a new life in a new country. Shortly after arriving in Canada, Doreen met and married Harold Fell in Fort St. John, B.C. and together they raised three children while running a lumber business there. They retired to their much loved Salmon Arm in 1981, where Doreen became involved in numerous community activities, charities and artistic endeavours. She volunteered at the Interfaith Thrift Store, helped yearly at the fall fair, made articles of clothing for Grandmothers to Grandmothers, greeted worshipers weekly at the United Church and helped wherever she could with a number of different groups and causes over the years. Doreen was an active member of the quilter’s guild and has left behind numerous quilted treasures for her family and friends to admire and cherish for years to come. In the past few years, Doreen enjoyed taking part in her osteofit classes, where she developed even more new friendships. Doreen also had a passion for growing things and rarely, if ever, could you visit her home and not find at least one of her many orchids in bloom. Doreen was a humble and giving person who had the gift of making her friends, family and acquaintances feel richer for having known her. She leaves behind her children, Mike, Craig and Heather (Laurier) Blanchette; her grandchildren, Brett (Laura) and Chelsea Blanchette and Alesha Fell and Karlene (Rodney) Purvis; four great grandchildren; daughter-in-law, Shirley; life-long friend and ‘fellow Brit’, Dorothy Aalhus and many, many other friends and extended family. In addition to her parents, Doreen was predeceased by her husband Harold in 2006 and her brother Gerald in 1991. Doreen’s older brother, Douglas, died in infancy in 1932. The family wishes to express their sincere appreciation to the doctors and nursing staff of the Shuswap Lake General Hospital who took such good care of Doreen in her final days. We would also like to extend our gratitude to the many friends who came to visit her during that time. We are truly humbled at the profound difference our mother, grandmother and great grandmother made in the lives of so many. A memorial service took place in Salmon Arm at the First United Church, Salmon Arm on Monday, February 18, 2013. Doreen’s ashes are interred in the Mount Ida Cemetery beside those of her husband, Harold. Doreen has asked that anyone wishing to make a donation in her memory please do so to the Shuswap Hospital Foundation, Box 265, Salmon Arm, BC, V1E 4N3. (www.shuswaphospitalfoundation.org). Online condolences can be sent through Doreen’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com Arrangements are in the care of Bowers Funeral Home, Salmon Arm.

The implications of the Daniels v. Canada decision on the country’s Metis population
We are writing on behalf of Métis Nation British Columbia (MNBC)’s Ministry of Natural Resources in response to Hank Shelley’s Shuswap Outdoors article in the Lakeshore News dated January 18, 2013. Ever since the Federal Court decision in Daniels v. Canada (declaration with respect to section 91(24): that Métis and non-status Indians are “Indians” within the meaning of the expression “Indians and lands reserved for Indians” in s. 91(24) of the Constitution Act, 1867) there seems to be some confusion and misunderstanding about what this verdict means for Métis people. Most of the comments in the media and postings online deal with money, or the lack of, being available to “support” and “pay for” Aboriginal people. Something very important has been lost in the debate. First off, we would like to clarify that most Métis people do pay taxes. Métis people in Canada are required to pay taxes on the same basis as other people in Canada (please see the Canadian Government’s Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada page for more details: http:// www.aadncaandc.gc.ca/eng/1100100016202/1100 100016204). Métis people do pay taxes and have always paid taxes, just the same as every non-Aboriginal Canadian citizen. But that is not what is most important here and what the true discussion should be about. What appears to have been forgotten, or even overlooked, are the inherent rights which Métis and other Aboriginal peoples have historically practiced and enjoyed. Section 35 of the Constitution Act states: (1) The existing aboriginal and treaty rights of the aboriginal peoples of Canada are hereby recog-
nized and affirmed. (2) In this Act, “aboriginal peoples of Canada” includes the Indian, Inuit and Métis peoples of Canada. Admittedly this topic is complicated; as each Aboriginal group historically functioned as a distinct society there is no one official all-encompassing Indigenous definition of what these rights are. Over the last 20 years, the Supreme Court of Canada has helped in defining these rights and they include, in some cases, rights to land, rights to subsistence natural resource use, the right to self-determination and self-government, and the right to practice one’s own culture and customs including language and religion. It could be argued that the most fundamental of those rights is the right to our identity as Aboriginal people. Since that identity was derived largely from the land we used and occupied, it makes sense that we had, and still have, certain rights in regard to this land. This would include the continuation of usage of the land, whether it is for hunting, fishing, trapping, gathering food and medicines, or for any other traditional activity or purpose. This right to identity also implies the further right to self-determination, for it is through self-determination that we (or any other people) preserve our collective identity. The right to self-determination may take several forms. Including, the authority to retain one’s culture in the face of threatened assimilation, the right of a child to be raised in their own language and culture, and the right to choose between an Aboriginal and a non-Aboriginal way of life. The right to self-determination implies the right to take charge of one’s own affairs so as to ensure effectively that Aboriginal identity and cul-

ture will be respected in the political world. These are the Aboriginal rights of the indigenous people of Canada. In the Shuswap Outdoors article in question, Hank Shelley stated: “We will have to have a stronger voice in all things wild, including access to lands, salmon/halibut fishing; and hunting/fishing issues. All of this due to the fact that the Aboriginal issue and movement, grows stronger…”. It would appear by this comment that the columnist feels Aboriginal people are out on the land and abusing, or even destroying, our natural resources. We are curious as to where he obtained this information? We would like to provide and offer readers an alternate view because Métis people desire sustainable use of natural resources. This includes: managing natural resources to meet present needs without compromising the needs of future generations; providing stewardship of natural resources based on an ethic of respect for the land; balancing economic, productive, spiritual, ecological and traditional values of natural resources to meet the economic, social and cultural needs of the Métis peoples and other aboriginal and non-aboriginal communities; conserving biological diversity, soil, water, fish, wildlife, scenic diversity, and other natural resources; and restoring damaged ecologies. MNBC and the British Columbia M#tis Assembly of Natural Resources (BCMANR) promote and manage sustainable use of our natural resources. Together we have developed, and continue to work diligently to enhance our own policy that governs MNBC Métis harvesters that allows us to be responsible for our own harvesting activities. This process enables us to determine where Métis harvesters are using natural resources and supports better information sharing, enforcement, monitoring and management of natural resources. We encourage you to review our Natural Resources Act (http://www.mnbc.ca/ naturalresources/natural-resource-act). You may be pleasantly surprised to see that we do not support a “free-for-all” harvesting system and that our harvesting management goals and objectives complement and share similar values as those laid out provincially and federally. Yes, it is true that the Daniels decision will significantly increase the “Indian” population in Canada but just like non-Aboriginal people, not all Métis people are harvesters.
Some carry on this tradition while others do not. If all harvesting laws that carefully manage and control the harvesting of wildlife in Canada ended tomorrow do you truly believe very single Canadian citizen would begin hunting, fishing and trapping? Not likely. Harvesting is a choice and practice that is performed by those who are passionate about it. It is a skill and lifestyle that not all people have a desire to learn and carry on. Métis people respect the laws and ways of our Ancestors and desire sustainable use of natural resources so that future generations will be able to continue on with these traditions for many years to come. You may now question why we “need” our own Acts, policies and management systems if ours complement and share similar values as those laid out provincially and federally. This comes back to the right of self-determination, the right to take charge of one’s own affairs so as to ensure effectively that Métis identity and culture will be respected in the political sphere. So why should we want to preserve our Métis culture, or any culture for that matter? Diversity is crucial. We recognize there are many benefits that come from variety and we believe that the ultimate value of preserving cultures will exceed the relatively small amount of money we spend on doing so. Preserving a culture offers evidence that there are other ways of doing things. The recognition of alternative lifestyles, diverse beliefs, different technologies and multiple ways of interacting with the environment is a vital part of growth and development. As a final thought, before the Daniel’s decision was even made there were at least 60,000 self-identified Métis in BC (with nearly 8000 registered MNBC citizens), and this number continues to rise. These people did not register for tax breaks, harvesting rights or any other benefits, as Métis in Canada did not have any. These people did it by choice because they identify with the culture and traditions of their Ancestors. They chose to embrace their Métis ways of living and inherent right to practice Métis culture and customs. We hope you find this information useful and it provides some clarification on the recent Daniels decision and what this means to Métis people. Respectfully, MNBC Ministry of Natural Resources and BCMANR
