Heritage commission requests designation to preserve historic church John Arendt

Members of Summerland’s Heritage Advisory Commission want to ensure a church building in Lowertown is pro-

tected. The Lakeside Presbyterian Church building, at the corner of Butler and Shaughnessy Avenues, will soon be put up for sale now that it is no longer being used as a church. The church building, more than a century old, has been recognized for its heritage value.

Construction on the church building began in 1910. In 1926, a pipe organ was added to the 225seat building. On Thursday, the commission discussed options for the building at its regular meeting. At present, it is one of two buildings in Summerland which has been given herit-

age designation. The other is the former George Ryga house on Caldwell Street. While the church building was given the heritage designation in 1984, the rules governing such designation have changed since that time. David Gregory, a member of the commission, said the owner of a building

with heritage designation is still able to upgrade the building for health and safety reasons, but there are restrictions to the changes which may be done. In addition to the heritage designation, the municipality has a list of 65 properties which are considered to have heritage value. While this

list identifies heritage properties, it does not provide protection to these buildings. The municipality is also able to create a community heritage registry. This gives the municipality the power to temporarily withhold permits to alter or demolish properties with historical value. See HERITAGE Page 2

Responses sought for regional survey Vital Signs data collected every two years

The Community Foundation of the South Okanagan is looking for input for its next survey of the region. The Vital Signs survey has been conducted in the region every two years since 2011. It is an analysis of the well-being of communities in the region, measuring 11 areas. “It’s a really broad analysis of what it means to have a

healthy community,” said Aaron McRann, executive director of Community Foundation of the South

region. Each year, the foundation provides more than $325,000 for the region.

Summerland. At present, the foundation has received four times as many survey responses from Oliver as from Summerland. “The more responses we get the more accurate the information will be,” he said. He would like to see at least 1,600 responses by the time the survey data collection is completed next month. A link to the Vital Signs survey can be found on the Community Foundations website at cfso.net.

POLICE rEPOrT Police urge owners to lock vehicles

Following a series of thefts from vehicles and thefts of vehicles, police in Summerland are urging motorists to take precautions. “Please roll up your windows, lock your doors and don’t leave your keys inside the vehicle,” said Sgt. Stephane Lacroix of the Summerland RCMP detachment. He said keys and wallets left in view in a vehicle will attract thieves.

Travel trailer burns

On Monday, emergency crews were called after a travel trailer on crown land off Cedar Avenue caught fire. The cause is believed to be smoking or cooking inside, police say. There were no injuries and the fire was extinguished quickly.

Beach fires reported

Police were called after open fires on Summerland beaches were reported last week. Sgt. Stephane Lacroix of the Summerland RCMP detachment said the community and the region are under a fire ban at present. The penalty for violating the campfire ban is a $345 ticket.

Farm featured in cooking show John Arendt A Summerland orchard will be featured in an episode of a national cooking show later this year. On Friday, crews from Four Senses, a cooking show which airs on AMI, were at Dickinson Family Farm to film a segment of one episode. The show is designed for visually impaired people and examines cooking using senses other than sight. It is hosted by Carl Heinrich and Christine Ha. It is in its third season. Ha, who is legally blind, won the Master Chef title in the United States, while Heinrich was named Top Chef in Canada. Jeff Blundell, director of the show, said the film segment in Summerland was one of several in the region. “We’re in the Okanagan to meet pro-

viders of the fresh and organic produce,” he said. “It’s about showing where food comes from.” Crews spent a

week in the region, visiting six farms and orchards. The farm on Bentley Road in Summerland has been owned

by the Dickinson family for more than 100 years. The four-hectare farm produces pears and seven varieties of

cherries. Some of the trees on the property are more than 60 years old. The episode fea-

Input sought for cultural plan John Arendt Members of Summerland’s Cultural Plan Task Force want to hear the community’s thoughts on culture. The 15-member task force was formed in May with a mandate to consult with the community and develop a cultural plan. The plan is intended to help shape Summerland’s cultural development for the future.

At present, the members of the task force are looking for comments from visitors, orchard workers and parttime residents of the community. “Our focus is to try to consult with the people who will be gone at the end of the summer,” said Margaret Holler, a member of the committee. Elie Van Nie, a member of the committee, said the comments from tourists

and temporary residents are necessary. “It’s important to consider why our tourists come here,” she said. The members will also seek input from others in the community, including community organizations, service groups, youth, those in the agricultural community and more. While the task force members plan to spend six months collecting comments,

they have already received good feedback with more than 50 questionnaires received to date. Holler said the plan presented to council will reflect the comments and feedback from the community. “We are not coming to the table with any personal mandates,” she said. “Our job is to listen to the community.” The task force members have dis-

LEGALLY SPEAKING...

A public service message from Bell, Jacoe & Company

Canada vs. The USA Do you believe we are becoming more and more like our American cousins? Well, in some respects their culture has been a very big influence on ours. Whether or not that is a good thing is a matter of opinion and for that matter who=s opinion it is. From a legal stand point, there are many areas where the American judicial system has encountered situations years ahead of the Canadian experience and as a result has been used as a guide by the Canadian courts in dealing with that situation. One aspect of our two legal systems will never be the same however, and that is the influence that juries play in creating law and awards. In America, a jury has a relatively free reign in handing out awards in civil matters. In Canada there are strict limitations on the amounts a Judge or Jury can award. The reason for this column? An article in the Canadian Lawyer Magazine estimated the value of all monetary awards given by juries in the US in 2002. The number was $283 BILLION dollars. Something to think about.

EDITORIAL Preserving heritage The future of the Lakeside Presbyterian Church building is not known, but since the congregation has been disbanded, concerns have been raised about the possibility that this building could be lost. The 225-seat building is more than a century old and features a pipe organ. The heritage value of this church has been recognized since at least the 1980s, when it was given heritage designation. However, the rules governing such designation have changed since that time. The community has a list of 65 heritage properties, but this list does not provide protection to these buildings. Those who have long connections to Summerland can recount stories of historic buildings which have been demolished or renovated to the point that the heritage elements are no longer as noticeable as in the past. Heritage preservation is important in any community. Once a building has been destroyed, it is gone forever. Once a building has undergone extensive renovations, there is little chance it will be put back to its original condition in the future. The difficulty comes in finding a workable method to achieve this goal. An official list of historic buildings and sites has little value if the buildings can be destroyed or modified extensively. A stronger designation, preventing the demolition or modification of heritage buildings, would keep the buildings in place, but could also render them much more difficult to sell. It is also important to remember that heritage buildings may require repairs and additional work more frequently than newer buildings. The costs of the upkeep and maintenance need to be considered. Otherwise, the result could be an aging building on a valuable piece of land. Summerland’s past deserves to be remembered and one way of doing this is by preserving buildings from earlier years. Although it is needed, a good strategy to preserve heritage buildings will not come easily.

Free trade in milk, eggs, even logs? VICTORIA – One of the rituals of life in southern B.C. communities is crossborder shopping for certain items. Even corner store owners are known to pop down to Washington border towns to load up a van with U.S. milk, taking advantage of a price difference generated by our “supply management” system. The recent slide in the Canadian dollar reduces this pressure in the short term, but the fact remains that dairy producers are propped up in Canada. And that’s increasingly a problem as Canada pursues entry into the Trans Pacific Partnership, the next big trade deal. With the U.S., Japan, Australia, New Zealand and other countries involved, it would form the largest trading bloc in the world. Canada uses tariffs of up to 300 per cent to protect its dairy and poultry industries from foreign imports, and the

B.C. Views

Tom Fletcher higher domestic price on milk and eggs is a burden that falls most heavily on poor people. The industry group Dairy Farmers of Canada and others argue that reducing or removing Canada’s import protection won’t change the huge farm subsidies paid by European and U.S. governments. The recent trade agreement between Canada and the European Union has already chipped away at this protection. The Conservative government is tiptoeing on this issue as a fall elec-

tion approaches, with rural seats across the country at stake. But the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand have deregulated their dairy industries and the Canadian industry is already facing increased cheese imports due to the European Union agreement. It’s an issue to watch as the federal election heats up. The NDP has positioned itself as a defender of supply management, a particularly touchy issue in rural Quebec, while the federal Liberals are committed to keeping up with the U.S. and joining the Trans-Pacific Partnership. The trend toward freer trade is broad and long. The Harper government ended the monopoly of the Canadian Wheat Board in 2012, and grain growers continue to compete globally. A trade deal with Korea saw tariffs come off Korean import vehicles, and life goes on. Another controlled

and protected commodity that is seldom discussed is logs. That’s changed with the push for the Trans Pacific Partnership, as Japan protests federal and provincial restrictions that push up the cost of logs for export. Ottawa regulates the export of private land logs, but only in B.C. This is a longstanding irritant for private land owners, holding the domestic price for premium “J grade” Douglas fir logs below $80 per cubic metre while the price in Asia and Washington state has climbed above $100. The U.S. has long complained about B.C.’s cheap Crown land stumpage and low domestic log prices in general, viewing them as a subsidy to lumber production. Indeed, this whole protection apparatus is designed to stimulate domestic milling, although it doesn’t seem to be working. The main investment by B.C. forest companies recent-

ly has been buying southern U.S. sawmills. The coastal industry has maintained that profits from log exports are keeping logging alive, paying for the harvest and processing of logs in B.C. With Pacific trade talks in the background, pushed hard by U.S. President Barack Obama, the latest Canada-U.S. lumber agreement is due to expire in October. It will be more difficult to defend what University of Alberta economist Jack Mintz calls a “Soviet-style approach to price determination.” B.C. used to do something similar to this with wine, protecting a backward industry cranking out mostly god-awful plonk. Competition made the wine industry better, and now it’s world class. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. Twitter: @tomfletcherbc Email: tfletcher@ blackpress.ca

THE EARLY YEARS

Ask Your Dentist... Growing up during the 1980’s, the Edmonton Oilers were my favourite team. Wayne Gretkzy said, “You miss 100% of the Dr. Cindee Melashenko shots you don’t take.” Setting health goals is like setting any kind of goal in life. Tomorrow is going to come and what you do today will influence your results tomorrow. While you may not always hit your goals, at least you have moved in the direction that you were aiming and not the opposite.

Fun and games

In the early 1900s the residents of Summerland liked to get together to celebrate special occasions. They probably would have seen B.C. Day as another good reason to hold a Community Sports Day on the opportunely flat expanse of Crescent Beach. In this photo, taken in 1905, it looks like the entire population turned out for whatever event was taking place — a baseball or football game, a horse race, or some other exciting activity. In 1974 B.C. Day was created to recognize our pioneers and celebrate B.C. so whatever your plans for the holiday, we hope you have as much fun as the pioneers did. Happy B.C. Day!

Seasonal farm workers deserve better treatment Dear Editor: What’s to be done? Summerland’s reputation as a nice, friendly town is tarnished.

Our seasonal fruit pickers are treated as “other.” One of them was found trying to live in one of our public

washrooms. This is not acceptable. A church in the heart of a big city allowed the homeless to sleep on their

pews. This is not a seasonal sanctuary. Our seasonal workers are an important part of our economy. As young

people, they are our future. What’s to be done, Summerland. Carol MacKenzie Summerland

Emergency euthanasia service needed Dear Editor: I write to advise pet owners to ask their vet if they offer a euthanasia program outside their office hours of Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. I unfortunately did not think of asking this question. When I needed an emergency call to a vet for euthanasia, I was told, “we offer 24-hour emergency service.” This service entails a

journey of 50 kilometres to Kelowna Fairfield Animal Hospital. This is totally unacceptable when your pet is hemorrhaging and is in dreadful pain in a pool of blood. It is cruel to expect a pet owner to put their dying pet into the back of a car and travel 50 kilometres to Kelowna. It hurt so much to witness my dearly loved eight-

year-old schnauzer in absolute pain, fighting for his life. I am so angry that I cannot understand an establishment like a vet closing their doors at 5 p.m. every night. Added to that fact, they are completely closed from 5 p.m. on Friday to Monday at 9 a.m. There is no euthanasia program in Summerland

outside these office hours. I implore all pet owners to ask their vets if they offer an out-of-hours euthanasia service, thereby avoiding a journey to Kelowna with a dying animal. If I can save just one pet from the excruciating pain of dying without help, my letter will have served its purpose. Lesley Price Summerland

Thanks to all who helped with plant sale Dear Editor: On behalf of the board and staff of the Friends of the Summerland Ornamental Gardens, I would like to thank and acknowledge those who assisted in making

our 2015 plant sale such a success. The annual plant sale continues to help fund the salaries of two seasonal gardeners who assist in the care and maintenance of the gardens.

This is truly a community event, bringing together our board, our gardeners, our many dedicated volunteers as well as numerous Summerland businesses. Our appreciation

extends to the local media who helped to advertise this event, including the Summerland Review for its ads and articles. And finally a big thank you to those who continue to

attend, support and enjoy our plant sale. The Summerland Ornamental Gardens continues to thrive thanks to you. Bev Krieger Plant sale chair Summerland

With oral health goals, we have patients who determine their plan and complete most of their treatment in one appointment (sometimes with the help of sedation). We also have patients who plan out their treatment over several years. Either course is fine. Everyone has their own set of circumstances, schedules, priorities, etc. Knowing what is in front of you and being able to point your compass in the right direction for what you want out of your oral health is the first step. In our practice, we like to listen to each patient’s story and their oral health goals. If we can understand what they want, then it’s just a matter of pointing our direction to align with theirs. We’re here to help in any way we can. Feel free to call, stop by, or send us an email message. We are always accepting new patients and I’d be happy to answer your question in the next column (anonymously if desired). Have a great week!

Considering chlorine in the water supply Dear Editor: Irrigation users in Prairie Valley received a letter dated July 6 , warning them that the irrigation water they use is in danger of not being chlorinated. The reason being that Interior Health does not require it. They also state that we of Prairie Valley are in grave danger if a chlorine leak should occur. Nothing was mentioned as to why irrigation water was chlorinated in the first place. Water coming out of Trout Creek has

been exposed to sunlight so this water contains micro organisms that form long green chains when not chlorinated. When the system was installed growers were encouraged to install drip or microjet systems to help conserve water. When water is not chlorinated these green chains plug up water filtration systems, microjets, drip nozzles and other small parts. The only way to prevent this is using chemicals to kill off the algae. At the time of installing this system

in the 1970s, it was decided the safest way of doing this was for the water coming to users be treated by the municipality thus preventing growers from contaminating

the whole system by using chemicals themselves. Summerland staff say they will never need this water for domestic use. If there was a break in the

domestic water system or a large fire it is important that this large source of water be kept clean just in case. Growers have miles of irrigation tub-

ing in their orchards, vineyards and gardens. Once these are plugged up, I hope the municipality has a plan to compensate for new systems. As for the safety of

chlorine, none of us have been gassed in the last 40 or so years. People handling this product are supposed to be qualified. Jean Lauer Summerland

can be very evident, such as the work that the Summerland Rotary group has done to create the new Sunday market. In fact, when I turn to the Calendar of Events in the 2015 Visitors Guide, I count almost 30 events that are wholly or partially dependent on volunteers for their success. Others times, volunteers are active in our community in a quieter way such as operating the Food Bank, participating in special library programs, weeding the Ornamental Gardens, creating museum and art gallery displays and programs or participating on one of the Committees of Council. Economic pundits sometimes try to assign a value to volunteer efforts with

a basic hours multiplied by wage equation. But this is too simplistic. In our most recent video launched in February, called, Our Connected Community, we talked about supporting the local organizations and events that bring vitality and meaning to our communities. Vitality and meaning can’t be quantified in dollars and cents but that’s the real power that volunteers both bring to our community and take away in what they gain from having contributed their time. Visitors notice this aspect of our community as well, and the Chamber talks about our culture of volunteerism in economic development videos and publications because we

Christine Petkau know this attracts more residents to our community. At the Granfondo Aid Station in Summerland, early in the morning of July 12, more than 2,000 bike riders swept through town, many of them stopping to chat for a moment with us and grab a drink, a treat, some help with their bike or first aid. Between the aid station and traffic control, there were

more than 30 Summerland volunteers. Most of the riders expressed thanks to the volunteers for coming out. In the coming months, please take a moment to thank a local volunteer that you may encounter. And if you’re one of those remarkable volunteers, we thank you for contributing to the vitality of Summerland. It couldn’t happen without your support. We always appreciate your feedback.

Revised plan adopted Summerland’s Official Community Plan was adopted on Monday evening, following a public hearing at the municipal council meeting. The 185-page document sets out the direction for land use within the community. Changes to the plan reduce the size of the Urban Growth Area to roughly half the size in an amendment from last year. Under the revision,

land within the Agricultural Land Reserve will not be designated for future growth. Ian McIntosh, director of development services for the municipality, said the new Urban Growth Area will not affect existing zoning. At the public hearing, residents raised concerns about land off Victoria Road South, near the former Glenfir School site, saying a develop-

ment in that area will affect local wildlife. Members of council raised concerns about land in the West Prairie Valley area. Much of the land in the West Prairie Valley area earlier designated for future growth has been zoned open land. Mayor Peter Waterman said the public may later decide on another use for the land in this area. “It’s an open slate

for the community to decide what’s going to happen in West Prairie Valley,” he said. Coun. Janet Peake said the community plan could be amended in the future if necessary. “It’s always a work in progress,” she said. “We are at a position where it’s time to move forward,” said Coun. Toni Boot. Coun. Doug Holmes and Coun. Erin Carlson voted against the bylaw.

Wildfires continue to burn Provincial firefighting crews are continuing to battle wildfires throughout the province. So far this year, a total of 1,338 wildfires, 10 hectares or larger, have been recorded provincewide. The fires have

covered 297,604 hectares. In the Kamloops Fire Centre’s coverage area, which includes the South Okanagan, 304 wildfires have been reported this year, covering 4,867 hectares. At present, there are 11 active wildfires in

this region. Over the past 10 years, there have been an average of 1,847 wildfires provincewide. Of these, 38.5 per cent have been caused by human activity, while 61.5 per cent have been caused by lightning.

Thursday, July 30, 2015 Summerland Review

Tents, ticks and total meltdowns I have two boys. Two very active, messy, full-of-energy boys. Looking for ways to keep them busy during the summer months can be an exhausting and often fruitless endeavour. Unfailingly every year I’ll be bombarded with a chorus

of little voices asking “When are we going camping?” to which my instinctive response is half past never! I am not a camper, sleeping on the ground, dealing with bugs, sharing a washroom with other people none of this screams ‘relaxing

vacation’ to me. I’m just not that kind of a girl. My children however love the chance to be outdoors playing all day, meeting new friends and making themselves sick on s’mores late into the evening. So each year we pack up what seems

to be our entire house, put it in the car and drive to a provincial park, providing it has flushing toilets and showers of course. Once we have unpacked our ridiculous sized pile of provisions the boys run off and start to have fun, I on the other hand now start what is probably the worst part of camping for me, the cooking. I’m a planner, I spend hours researching and scheduling my vacations so that every last second of fun is accounted for. In preparation for this three days of torture (did I mention three days of camping is my maximum? Once we only made it three hours before my husband threw everything in the truck including two sobbing kids and a hysterical wife and we drove home.) I spend days beforehand planning

what we’re going to eat. The first time we went some years ago I had no idea what I was going to do, I’d never really cooked outdoors before other than the barbecue and certainly never on an open fire. Luckily there are many books out there to help novices such as myself so I plunged into the hitherto unknown world of camping cookbooks. I learned all the tips and tricks I would need to know to survive the great outdoors from books such as Hungry Campers, by Zac Williams and Camping: Sleep Well, Stay Dry, Eat Great Food, by Ed Douglas. It didn’t look totally easy but with enough preparation before we left I managed to keep us all relatively well fed. After the ordeal of cooking is over I then have all the clean up to do, seriously who

thought that camping would be a vacation. Finally, finally after all that is done I can relax. There are no distractions, no phones, no TV, no jobs that need to be taken care of just me and my book. This is why I can face my yearly camping trip, this opportunity to just sit in peace, surrounded by beauty. I can catch up on

my ever increasing pile of things to read and just spend time recharging, I would camp just to make my boys happy but this is definitely a part I enjoy. I envy those who make camping look easy, they seem at ease in nature and think nothing of going away for weeks at a time with not even running water. This will probably never be me but each year it gets a little easier, a little less daunting and if all else fails I may have to go buy myself a fifth wheel and go “glamping.” Adele Meadow is an Assistant Community Librarian at the Summerland Branch of the ORL. She’s been enjoying and recommending young-adult books for years.

When Norma Bradley had her long red hair cut for a shorter style last week, she donated the excess length to make wigs for cancer patients. Bradley had her hair cut on Thursday. She donated 38 centimetres of her hair to Pantene, for use in the wigs.

Bradley, who had been considering a shorter hair style, chose to donate her hair after several friends lost their hair while battling cancer. “It was such a simple solution,” she said. The recipients will not have to pay for the wigs.

Summerland Review Thursday, July 30, 2015

Art will be displayed Once again local artists will be featured in local businesses in the Summerland Community Arts Council’s annual Art Walk. Starting this Saturday Aug. 1 and running until Aug. 31 local artists will have works displayed in participating downtown businesses and wineries. The Art Walk is designed to promote tourism, business and cultural awareness in Summerland. Our hope is that by organizing a collaboration between local artists and Summerland businesses we can attract more customers and art lovers/buyers to our beautiful town. Patrons are encouraged to come on this walking tour of the downtown area to re-discover the wonderful shops in our beautiful downtown. Exercise, art, and shopping all in one, what could be better? The Featured Artist of the week at the Art Centre for July 31

to Aug. 4 is Shirlie Wilkinson. Wilkinson was born in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan and moved to British Columbia with her family in 1942. She graduated from the Vancouver School of Arts and on completion of her course was awarded the Businessmen’s Travel-Study Scholarship that must be used outside of Canada. In May, 1958 she traveled to the British Isles and Europe and studied art at the Central School of Arts and Crafts in London. During her 18 months abroad she traveled through 21 European countries and spent her time visiting galleries, sketching and painting. Wilkinson has since enjoyed a career in design and graphics and now in her retirement is once again enjoying painting with watercolours and acrylics. Come watch Wilkinson paint and hear more about her travels.

Touring the library

Members of the Friends of the Summerland Library Society and the Okanagan Regional Library staff were given a tour of the new Summerland Library branch last week. Construction of the new facility is expected to be completed by late August. The budget for the building is $4.5 million, including the purchase of the land, demolition of old buildings on the Main Street property and site improvements. Funding came from the Okangan Regional Library. Summerland residents contribute around three per cent of the regional library’s costs.

shops on public speaking, on healthy lifestyle, even manners and etiquette,” Henderson said. “It was a self-development project. It was a really wonderful experience and so much more than I was expecting.” Henderson was pleasantly surprised to see how the 40 contestants all got along so well with each other. “We really developed a sisterhood,” she said. “By the time it was the actual pageant night we had mostly forgotten it was a competition. It was less about who was going to win and more about what we could individually bring to the world.” The contestants had a private, one on one interview with each of the judges and on pageant night they gave a brief introduction of themselves and their sponsor to the judges and audience. The finalists were given an onstage interview, based on the answers they had previously provided to a questionnaire. Henderson was asked what her favourite quote was. Her answer was taken from Ann of Green Gables-“It’s

hard to stay sad for very long when we live in such an interesting world.” For her second question she was asked who she would choose to go out on a date with and her reply was “myself.” Laughing, she explained, “I’m really a social person and I don’t spend enough time on my own, learning about myself… so could just spend some more time on my own, reflecting.” Each pageant contestant also had a platform that they were judged on. Henderson’s platform was on having a positive body image, health and empowerment. It is her belief that in order to realize our full potential we must feel comfortable in ourselves. Her fear is that today, many in our society are so caught up in the way they look, that they forget about what they can actually do. “I want people to look beyond what they see physically,” she said. “When you look in the mirror, stop thinking so much about your head, torso and limbs and think more about what’s in your heart,

what’s in your soul and see the fire within.” The year ahead will be a busy one for Henderson, as she appears at many different events. While certain appearances are planned, much of what she does with her title lies in her own hands. She recognizes that having the title of Miss Interior is a commitment, one that she is confident she can handle. Henderson said that the journey thus far had been a happy one. “The most important message I got from this pageant was the concept of women empowering women. We all have something special to bring to the world,” she said. “It was a really revolutionary weekend for me and I would highly recommend it to any young girl.” If you would like to know Emily Henderson better, you can check out her blog at emmielaurent.wordpress.com.

ness, and instructional skills such as how to teach proper stretching, proper nutrition, and how to run sports tabloids. She is with a group of her peers from across western and northern Canada, and is taught by staff cadets while being mentored by Cadet Instructor Cadre Officers; adults who specialize in working with young people to implement the cadet program. Johnston began summer camp in late June and will return home mid-August. The Cadet Program is a national youth development program which aims to grow in youth the attributes of good citizenship and leadership, promote physical fitness, and stimulate the interest of youth in the sea, land and air activities of the Canadian Forces.

Albas presents year’s expenses It is hard to believe this will be my fourth annual accountability report as time has gone by quickly since being first elected in 2011. Like my previous accountability reports this is a summary of my expenditures over the past fiscal year as the Member of Parliament for OkanaganCoquihalla. As with previous reports I will follow the format using information from the most recent fiscal period of April 1, 2014 to March 31, 2015 in accordance with the Board of Internal Economy reporting periods. While some of this information is publicly available, it can be difficult to find and often exists at several different locations online or not at all. As stated in previous years, I believe it is important for citizens to have an annual summary on the activities of elected officials in public office including the related costs. Office expenses and travel are typically the most scrutinized areas of spending for elected officials at any level of government. For Members of Parliament from Brit-

the top three lowest expenses for a B.C.based MP. As a comparison closer to home, NDP MP Alex Atamanenko from B.C. Southern Interior has posted spending of $441,536 as a comparison. Sponsored travel falls into a different category as MemDan Albas bers of Parliament ish Columbia, our are invited from time travel expenses are to time to travel to typically higher than other destinations those of MPs from both within and outother areas in Canada side of Canada for as a result of the fact a variety of different that we fly further reasons.

some of the more commonly scrutinized expenses. If there is other information that you are interested in, please do not hesitate to contact me with your request. I can be reached via email at dan.albas@ parl.gc.ca or at 1-800665-8711. This year we have seen a number of forest fires in OkanaganCoquihalla. These situations can be particularly demanding in interface areas for those who are evacuated as well as those that are often the last line of protection. While some fires like we saw at Hamilton Hill near Merritt can be quickly and effectively extinguished, we must remain mindful that despite advances in technology and techniques, this work is inherently dangerous and requires amazing amounts of work, coordination and ingenuity. For many of us we can only imagine the sacrifice and perseverance that it takes to contain such fires. I was glad to join Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Premier Christy Clark with other elected officials at Shelter Cove-West-

side Road fire near West Kelowna to hear firsthand the experiences of those who are courageously fighting this fire. One gentleman who led the crew spoke of his years of dedication to firefighting and sense of service that he and his crew drew upon on daily to tackle such gruelling work. It was very gratifying to hear both leaders on behalf of British Columbia and

Canada respectively, publicly praise the crew and the multitudes of other Canadians who also are working to keep their communities and areas safe. I would encourage

all citizens of Okanagan-Coquihalla who have the opportunity to do so to also extend their thanks. Dan Albas is the MP for Okanagan Coquihalla.
