Assault investigation leads to much more Three arrested with stolen vehicle, weapons CPL. CHRIS NE WEL For the Bulletin
CAROLYN GRANT PHOTO
Members of the Mark Creek Lions were pleased to welcome Mayor Don McCormick for the ‘First Flush’ (although Kimberley being Kimberley, it was quickly nicknamed ‘The Royal Flush’) ceremony at Central Park in Marysville. The Lions have recently completed renovations on the building. It all took place during Marysville Daze, which was moved to Central Park this year. The event was a success with many people out on a bright sunny day enjoying a pancake breakfast, visiting vendor booths, children’s games and listening to music.
An assault on Saturday afternoon (June 6) lead to the arrest of several persons and the recovery of a stolen vehicle. At 3:38 pm RCMP were called to an assault on Ross Street in Kimberley, the subjects departed prior to police attendance. They were however, able to get a vehicle description and partial Alberta plate numbers. Less than 30 minutes later an officer saw the vehicle on Warren Ave, he turned around and activated his emergency equipment, the vehicle turned off and appeared to be evading police as it made several turns until it reached
a dead end. Once the officer had the subjects in custody he learned the driver was prohibited from driving and the vehicle was stolen out of Beaumont Alberta. In the trunk police found several weapons including, six knives, a machete, and two baseball bats One female is still in custody and will appear on Cranbrook court today on charges of Possession of Stolen Property and Assault. Two other males were released on a Recognizance with $500 bail for court in July. All three subjects have no fixed address but are believed to have been from Alberta but have connections to Cranbrook and area.
Kimberley residents cash in More impaired drivers $500,000 Lotto Max ticket CPL. CHRIS NE WEL
A last minute anniversary gift turns into the perfect present C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor
It was a last minute anniversary gift that paid off in a big way for Kimberley residents Dana Haggar and Rhonda Carr-Haggar. Two days prior to his wed-
ding anniversary, Dana arrived home from a business trip and said he was scrambling to get a gift for his wife. “I ended up going down to Shoppers Drug Mart in Kimberley and picked up some lottery tickets and some flowers,” said Dana, who works for Teck in Kimberley. And the results of that gift? The Lotto Max ticket paid off $500,000. “I’ll take it,” said Rhonda. Take it they did, picking up their prize in Kamloops Mon-
day. The Haggar family has lived in Kimberley for the past four years, having lived in the Yukon before. “I can’t say this will speed up my retirement plans, I enjoy what I do,” Dana said. “My wife is already retired.” Asked what they planned for the money, they said they would put it in the bank and possibly look to purchase a home, as they currently rent. They do plan to retire in this area, though likely in Cranbrook.
On June 5th, just before midnight an officer observed a vehicle perform an illegal U-turn as he departed a local pub. The officer stopped the vehicle and after dealing with the driver read the breath demand. The driver refused to supply a sample. The officer exercised considerable patience and explained several times the consequences of not providing a sample. The driver still refused, his driver’s license has been suspended for 90 days and his vehicle impounded for 30 days. On June 6th, around 6:30 pm a Traffic Services officer was working in Kimberley when he spotted a driver
in Marysville without his seat belt on. The vehicle was stopped and the officer noted signs of alcohol consumption. He read the breath demand and a Warn sample was obtained. The driver was prohibited from driving for three days; he was also given a violation ticket for Failing to Wear a Seat Belt. On June 6th, around 7:30 pm, an officer stopped a vehicle and while speaking to the driver noted an odour of alcohol. A breath demand was made and based on the results the driver was issued a 24-hour driving suspension. RCMP remind drivers it’s a lot easier to arrange a ride home than face impaired driving sanctions.

Alan Fabro, a one in a million arm ANTHONY DR ANSFELD For the Bulletin
The Pittsburgh Pirate Baseball Club, needed to move fast if they wanted to sign a 17 year old catcher from Kimberley British Columbia. The New York Yankees had already dispatched their Pacific North West scout to the highest City In Canada ( Kimberley), a man by the name of Eddy Taylor who had seen young Alan Fabro play in a tournament in Spokane Washington. The Yankees were going to offer Fabro a signing bonus, and a contract. (giving a Canadian baseball player a signing “bonus” had never been done before) Negotiating for Alan was his father Milo Fabro, probably the most astute businessman in the East Kootenays, and certainly one of the wisest. When you walked into the Fabro home, a giant picture of President John F. Kennedy hung in the living room ( signed by J.F.K). Milo Fabro advised Alan to
sign with Pittsburgh Pirates (who I believe picked up Fabro’s Gonzaga University tuition as well ) “Fabby”, as he was known by in Kimberley sporting circles, attended Gonzaga when he was not playing professional baseball. He was the Gonzaga Bulldog goaltender in Collegiate hockey during his four seasons at G. U. Alan was later to play two seasons of semi pro hockey for the Reno Aces under the ownership of Allan Dunn. Now, never a shrinking violet, Mr. Alan Fabro sent a bat boy up into the stands in Toronto, asking a vivacious blonde girl if she would like to go out on a date after the game. Virginia and Fab married one year later. Both of the Fabro children are exceptional athletes. Allison went to the University of Georgia, on a full volleyball scholarship, and Scott displayed the same rocket arm as his father Alan, while playing baseball in Lethbridge,
Parks & Recreation Public Consultation Deadline Extended The deadline for the public to provide input into updating the City of Cranbrook Parks and Recreation Master Plan has been extended by two weeks to Friday June 12, 2015. Back in April, a survey was sent to 2,000 randomly selected households across the City. If you have received a letter in the mail inviting your participation, please respond. You do have the option of completing the survey on the Internet or on a printed copy. The survey has been well received, however to ensure the results are statistically valid; the City is seeking additional responses. The general public is also invited to submit a letter or email about your interests in and suggestions for parks and recreation in Cranbrook, these are welcome at any time, and can be dropped off at Leisure Services, located at Western Financial Place. The plan is expected to be completed by the fall of 2015.
Alan Fabro Gonzaga University goaltender 1964. The PIttsburgh PIrates paid Fabro’s scholarship and was a pretty decent hockey player. Virginia Fabro was an exceptional athlete herself. A family of great athletic genes. Now, Fab was called upon from time to time to be a relief pitcher for the B.P.O.E. Angels of Kimberley (a Junior Baseball Team under the management of John “ Mauk “ McKenzie). Alan Fabro drilled me in the middle of my back during a game in 1966. It probably quit hurting about three years ago. Fab could throw really hard, a one in a million arm. A standout basketball and volleyball player up at Selkirk High School, Alan has a golf handicap of 2 or 3. After 50 years Alan still has some sports buddies here in Kimberley, Bilco, Rokey, Boots Boudreau, Sully, Nizer, Sammy Calles Jr., Danny Calles, John McKenzie, Norm Foster, Colin Patterson, and cousin Ber-
One of Fabro’s spring training teammates, Manny Sanguillen. nie Redisky. Alan’s mom ( Furina ) and his twin brother ( Colin ) still reside here in Kimberley,his brother Robert has passed away. So after two seasons of Pro Baseball Alan Fabro decided to get his degree at Gonzaga University. Alan is the quintessential “positive thinker” in life. Who else could start off selling John Deere tractors in Lethbridge, and then end up owning the company!! McKay Brothers employing 150 people, the third largest dealership in Western Canada. That is Alan Fabro in a nutshell, a man with a can do spirit, and an inspiration to many, many people in sports, business, and life (myself included). Here is a short list of the very best athletes to come out of Kimberley these past 50 years, Eric “Ike“ Bodin, Alan Fabro, Danny “Sully” Sullivan, and Jimmy Nelson. (in my humble opinion).
Annual Pool Closure – Aquatic Centre @ Western Financial Place The pool at Western Financial Place will closed for annual maintenance from Sunday June 14 to July 1, 2015 with the facility reopening to the public on Thursday July 2, 2015. Work includes a full scrub and shine, replacement of filters, painting, tile and grout repairs, replacement of the steam room generator and the replacement of the lights in the aquatic centre. The City of Cranbrook and Leisure Services apologizes for any inconvenience this work may cause.

The Lion’s Manor Community Greenhouse has just wrapped up presentations and work bees for the season with K-12 classes in Kimberley. We’ve been busy seeding starts, tackling weeds, transplanting plugs, turning compost and stomping cob with a great bunch of enthusiastic kids! Along the way, our young charges found out more about where their food comes from, sampling spicy radishes and fresh lettuce greens. What’s more, students had the opportunity to lend some artistic direction and elbow grease to a community project, supporting a more food secure Kimberley. Eager to know more about the Community Greenhouse, plans for the future and how you could get involved? Contact Chris Vassallo by phone (250.520.0198) or email at chrisjvassallo@gmail.com.

Fire Centre update Rain reduces risk considerably; Category 2 open burning permitted C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor
While there have been many more fires to this date this year than last in the Southeast Fire Centre — 47 in 2015 compared to 16 in 2014 — there is also reason for optimism. That reason is recent rainfall and no lightning. “There are a lot of factors that go into the number of fires, but one of them was that it was quite dry earlier this year and dead grass had no chance to green up because the nights were still cool,” said Jordan Tucker, information officer for the Southeast Fire Centre. “But we’ve re-
ceived quite a lot of rain recently and fire risk is greatly decreased. That’s why we lifted the Category 2 open burning ban last week.” Category 2 fires are those involving fireworks, burning barrels and burning waste in piles under 2 metres by 3 metres. “Right now, you’re allowed to burn as long as you take proper precautions and have the right tools on hand,” Tucker said. Earlier this year, Tucker said that the coming summer fire season risk greatly depended on the amount of rain received in June. “It’s hard to say whether we got enough rain and it is already drying out some. But there is more rain forecast. And no lightning makes a big difference.” There were no new fire starts in this region over the weekend.

June is Invasive Species Month in BC Submit ted
BC is under siege by invasive alien species that negatively impact our economy, environment, human health and our quality of life. Invasive species are considered to be the second greatest threat to global biological diversity, behind only habitat loss! The East Kootenay Invasive Plant Council, along with their many partner agencies and individuals, are committed to minimizing the damage caused by these invaders and to avoid new introductions. Whether you are concerned about invasive species for their negative impacts on recreation values and our economy, or you want to help protect East Kootenay ecosystems for generations to come — we all share a common goal: to minimize the impacts of invasive species and prevent their spread. EKIPC will present at weed management workshops, visit farmers markets, conduct boat wash demonstrations, host weed pulls, participate in festivals, and conduct training in aquatic and terrestrial species identification and management. Please join us to learn more about invasive species at the Invasive Species Month event that suits you! Together we can make a difference!

Standing up to Russian aggression
J
ust before he sat down to a traditional Bavarian meal of sausages and beer with German Chancellor Angela Merkel at the start of the G7 summit on Sunday, US President Barack Obama told the media that one of the meeting’s priorities would be discussing ways of “standing up to Russian aggression in Ukraine.” Which begs the question: what kind of aggression are we talking about here? There are unquestionably Russian troops in the rebel provinces of eastern Ukraine, and that is certainly an act of aggression under international law. (The Russian troops there are definitely not just volunteers lending the rebels a hand while they are on leave, as Moscow maintains. How can we be sure? Because soldiers on leave do not take their tanks and artillery with them.) But is this a prelude to a Russian invasion that would take over all of Ukraine, as Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko recently alleged? If it is, it would require a whole different level of response, and the result could easily be a new Cold War. Is it also the first step in a Russian campaign to take back everything that used to be part of the Soviet Union, and before that of the Russian empire, as many in Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Georgia and other former “Soviet Republics” fear? If so, “standing up to Russian aggression” would be an even bigger task, involving a major NATO troop build-up in Europe and probably a new nuclear arms race. Might Russian President Vladimir Putin actually be the next would-be world conqueror, out of the same mould as Napoleon and Hitler? In that case, get ready for the Third World War, because it’s unlikely that anything less would stop him. So exactly what kind of aggressor Putin is
matters quite a lot. Here’s a clue: Putin was first elected president of Russia in 1999, and for his first fifteen years in power he didn’t attack anybody. (He responded very toughly to the cretinous Georgian attack on Russian peacekeeping troops in South Ossetia in 2008, but he didn’t start that war.) On the whole, would-be world conquerors don’t wait fifteen years before making their first move. They get started as soon as possible, because it’s a big job. After three months of non-violent demonstrations against Ukraine’s pro-Russian president, Gwynne Viktor Yanukovych, in the winter of 2013-14, and Dyer after a day of shooting on Independence Square (the Maidan) in Kiev that killed at least fifty protesters and three policemen, Putin agreed to a deal on 21 February that promised new elections in Ukraine within a month. It was always puzzling why the demonstrators went out onto the square and spent three bitterly cold months there demanding that Yanukovych quit right away, given that elections were due in Ukraine within a year. Why not stay warm at home and vote him out next year? He couldn’t do anything irrevocable in the meantime. Never mind that. The representatives of the protesters definitely did agree to the deal hammered out by Russian and EU negotiators on the evening of 21 February 2014. Yanukovych was to resign and there would be new elections IN ONE MONTH. Yet only hours later the demonstrators attacked the presidential administration buildings and Yanukovych had to flee. Why couldn’t they wait even one month? Maybe because they were afraid that they would lose the election. Kiev is in
western Ukraine, where most people are strongly pro-Western and would like to join the European Union, even NATO if possible. It certainly looked to people watching it on television as if all Ukrainians wanted Yanukovych out. But Yanukovuch had won the 2010 election fair and square with a 52 percent majority, thanks to the votes of eastern Ukrainians. Their ancestors had lived in the Russian empire for more than three centuries, unlike those of western Ukrainians. Most eastern Ukrainians speak Russian, share the Orthodox religion of Russians, are actually pro-Russian in general. What’s more, eastern Ukraine is the home of almost all of the country’s heavy industry, and it was Russia that bought most of the coal, steel and industrial goods produced by eastern Ukrainians. It was their votes that elected Yanukovych in 2010, and there was no reason to believe that they would vote differently in 2014. There really was a coup in Kiev in 2014, and Putin was quite right to feel deceived and betrayed. He was wrong to respond as he did, taking back the province of Crimea (which had an overwhelmingly Russian population but had been bundled into Ukraine in a Communist-era decision in 1954). He was very wrong to back the rebellion in the eastern Ukrainian provinces of Donetsk and Lugansk. If he actually encouraged them to rebel (which is not clear) he is even more in the wrong. It is all being done in defiance of international law. But he is not setting out down the path of world conquest. He is not even planning to take over Ukraine. “Standing up to Putin” is an invigorating moral exercise, but it is not strictly speaking necessary.

Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

IOC approves new events for 2018 Winter Olympic Games Stephen Wilson Associated Press
LAUSANNE, Switzerland - The IOC approved new events Monday in snowboarding, Alpine skiing, speedskating and curling for the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea. Big Air in snowboarding, mass start in speedskating, mixed doubles in curling, and a team skiing event were the additions ratified Monday by the International Olympic Committee executive board. The snowboard parallel slalom event, meanwhile, was dropped from the Olympic program to
make room for Big Air. Under IOC rules, events and disciplines can be added or removed up until three years before the games. The new events are for men and women. The IOC has been determined to attract younger audiences. “The changes reflect the continued evolution of the Winter Olympic program and build on the success of recent editions of the games,” the IOC said in a statement. “They also build on the reforms outlined in Olympic Agenda 2020 which aim to create more flexibility into the Olympic program of the Olympic Games.”
Prince Albert Raiders name Curtis Hunt general manager CANADIAN PRESS
PRINCE ALBERT, Sask. - The Western Hockey League’s Prince Albert Raiders have named Curtis Hunt the 10th general manager in franchise history. Hunt takes over for Bruno Campese, who left the team in May after eight seasons. Hunt spent last season as the general manager and head coach of the Fort McMurray Oil Barons of the Alberta Junior Hockey League. The Oil Barons finished the regular season with a 31-23-6 record and hosted the 2015 Western Canada Cup. Prior to his time in Fort McMurray, Hunt spent seven years in the WHL as a head coach, split between Moose Jaw (2002-04) and Regina (2004-08; 2009-10).
The IOC recommends the participation of about 2,900 athletes competing in 100 events for the Winter Games. The IOC said decisions on which new events to accept for 2018 were based on a number of factors, including youth appeal, TV and
media interest, gender equality and “infrastructure and operational cost and complexity.” In Big Air events, boarders fly off a highly pitched ramp similar to those on the slopestyle course, and perform jumps with flips and spins. They do as many
jumps as possible in an allotted amount of time. Ma s s start speedskating races add team tactics and a direct confrontation of skating styles in a long-distance event. It could also bring the push and shove elements of short track to
the Olympic big oval. Curling has had separate men’s and women’s competitions since returning in 1998. While traditional curling involves teams of four, mixed doubles would include teams of two - one male and one female. Teams would

have six stones each, instead of eight. The new Alpine skiing event involves teams of two men and two women competing in parallel slalom races. The event has been part of the world championships and the World Cup finals.

HOROSCOPES by Jacqueline Bigar
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Try not to lose control in a discussion where someone considers him- or herself to be above the majority of people. Follow your intuition, and test out any solutions in your head before you verbalize them. Curb statements that could cause a problem. Tonight: Play it low-key. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Remain focused on your objectives, and don’t allow any uproar to distract you. Addressing one item at a time will be the best way to proceed. You might have to switch gears when you least expect to, and it could add to the present confusion. Tonight: Where your friends are. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Tension is likely to build as an authority figure starts causing a problem and creating additional pressure. You might be past the point of worrying about this person’s wishes, but that could cause you a major problem where you least want it. Tonight: A force to be dealt with.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) You might want to maintain a lower profile than usual. Anger might rise to the surface, but be smart and don’t reveal anything that you’d rather not discuss. Financial gain is possible if you can keep your eye on the big picture. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) It doesn’t take a genius to see how stressed out many of your friends and loved ones are. Listen carefully, and try to reconcile all the different opinions. Oneon-one relating will result in a different reaction from what you might have anticipated. Tonight: Work through a problem. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) When you try to initiate a conversation with a parent or higher-up, you could discover that there is a problem. You might feel as if this person is using you as his or her punching bag. Use your instincts, and you won’t make a bad decision. Tonight: Vanish while you can. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Your focus and determination continue to be your strong suits.
Tundra
Others might want to play devil’s advocate and go into deep reflection, but you will get the job done. Tension is likely to emerge because of what you must do. Tonight: Put your feet up and relax. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) An interesting conversation with a loved one or someone you are financially involved with is likely to spur your imagination. A discussion with an expert or an older friend will point you toward a positive path. Follow through, and don’t question yourself. Tonight: Be a duo. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You could be juggling more than you want to handle. You’ll see an important relationship or a matter involving your home experience some ups and downs. You might find it hard to be present, especially as others seem to be demanding! Tonight: Go for what you want. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Keep communication moving. You might feel as if you have too much information. You will want to change your approach with
several people, especially if they are loose cannons. Listen to an associate who is argumentative, but wait to comment. Tonight: Relax. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might want to revise your thinking about a risk for now. Your creativity easily translates into ingenuity when dealing with a touchy associate or loved one. Don’t get your funds involved in any of your dealings, except when paying for lunch! Tonight: Pay bills. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You might want to come to a better understanding of what is happening with a loved one. You could be overwhelmed by this person’s attitude, which is likely to be cantankerous and difficult. Go off and do something just for you. Tonight: Let the games begin!

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: Graduation is coming up, and I don’t know what to do. You see, most of the seniors aren’t qualified to graduate at all. Some of them have been truant for half of the years they were here. At least 15 seniors were absent from class for their entire senior year, and at least 20 percent lack grade-level reading and writing skills. For some, college will be impossible. Every year, we have “alumni” who return to school because they either graduated without necessary credentials or flunked out of college and need academic help. I never give passing grades to kids who don’t show up to class, but if they perform some token service, the school graduates them anyway. Should I go to this year’s graduation ceremony? I haven’t gone in two years, and when asked, I say why. Sometimes I worry that I appear unkind, because this is a low-income, troubled neighborhood and high school graduation means a lot to these families. I just don’t like what I see as a deception because either the parents haven’t made sure the kids go to school, or the school lies to the kids and tells them everything is fine. What do you suggest? -Teacher Dear Teacher: There is only so much you can do, and you are already doing it. We understand that you don’t feel it is fair for kids to graduate when they haven’t done the work, shown up for class or achieved the required standards. You are already giving these kids flunking grades. But unless the other teachers and the school administration are willing to hold them back, they will graduate anyway. And your school is not the only one that operates in this fashion. While it serves no purpose for parents or kids to believe graduation will happen whether or not it’s deserved, for some, the humiliation of not graduating doesn’t spur them to achieve more. It makes them give up. Ask yourself what you hope to accomplish as an educator, and then seek the best way to achieve it. Dear Annie: I have a friend who, after lots of medical assistance, was finally able to get pregnant and have a little girl 18 months ago. Now, with further assistance, she is pregnant with twins. It’s exciting but expensive to give a baby shower. What is the proper etiquette? I really like her, and she was the matron of honor at my wedding three years ago. We worked together then and now have lunch once every month or so, but we are no longer super-close. -- Second Baby Shower? Dear Second: Are you asking whether you should host twice or attend twice? You are not obligated to do either, but it is especially onerous to host a second baby shower, so you are off the hook for that. Many women opt not to have second baby showers, because they already were provided with plenty of nice things that can be handed down to a second child. With twins, however, the need is greater, so a second shower is understandable. But it should not overburden people who gave generously the first time. Guests should include only close family, very close friends and those who were not invited to the first baby shower. If you choose to attend a second shower, you might consider a token gift rather than a pricey item.

Teck hosts international mining conference K atelyn Dingman The Free Press
Key players in the coal mining industry from Colombia, Peru and the Elk Valley made their way to the Elkford Community Conference Centre on Wednesday, June 5 to discuss mining relations and mining practices. Industry representatives, including a representative from Peru’s Ministry of Energy and Mines and representatives from the Federation of Colombian Municipalities, were eager to learn about the Elk Valley’s mining industry, focusing mainly on their positive community relations. Delegates from the foreign mining sectors were in admiration of the positive government relationships with the mining industry. Participants were also keen to discuss the tax revenue agreements that allow mining to continue in local communities like the Elk Valley. “We understand the role coal mining plays in the economic development but also in the livelihoods of people here,” Program Director of Inclusive Communities in Latin America (CISAL) Christopher Yeomans said. “We were coming here to discuss how local communities have come together to negotiate better agreements, better tax revenue agreements with Teck and other companies here.” Similar to the mining sector in B.C., mining in Colombia and Peru receives a lot of backlash due to concerns over environmental and social impacts. In the Elk Valley, the mining industry directly surrounds communities like Fernie, Sparwood and Elkford. In Colombia and Peru, however, mining often takes place in rural areas outside of the communities. Due to an economic imbalance (poverty stricken communities versus the prosperous mining industry), mining is generally unaccepted and local authorities find it difficult to negotiate and work with communities, Yeomans said. “To establish a mine, often you
have to remove people from one area and put them somewhere else. That sometimes creates conflict and friction,” said Yeomans. “Here you can tell that in the Elk Valley, there’s a general acceptance that mining is the resource, the economic generator in the region. There’s actually quite a good relationship between the local governments and the people and mining company. That was quite eye opening for our partners.” The goal of the conference was to educate global mining representatives on the mutual benefits of mining in B.C. “We are looking to learn how to avoid problems,” Executive President of Sierra Exportadora Alfonso Velasquez Tuesta said, noting that for him, learning how to properly handle their working relationship with the community is key to a prosperous foreign mining industry. Canada’s mining taxation was another area of interest for the global partners. The implementation of the B.C. Mining Tax Act ensures that mining taxes are imposed by mines in two stages — a two per cent tax on net current proceeds and a 13 per cent tax on net revenue. These types of regulations, however, do not exist in Peru and Colombia. District of Elkford Mayor Dean McKerracher highlighted the need for these taxes. “We work very well with the mining industry,” McKerracher said of the municipal governments relationship with Teck. “They’ve been a great supporter of our community. They’ve helped us build our communities and strengthen our communities, and with the taxation from the mining, it just makes it that much easier for us to operate our municipalities.” He went on to say, “It’s been a great working relationship so far.” McKerracher noted the importance of their global partners developing and understanding how mining works in the Elk Valley.
