Historical Lens Historical Lens Idea is ‘fantastic’: Pride group

Sheyanne Bowditch makes a valid statement in the letter to the editor (May 25).

“Why not encourage all groups who want to paint a crosswalk in their way to do so?”

What a fantastic idea beautifying the community and providing a symbol of support, welcome and diversity. The board of Columbia Valley Pride would be happy to provide guidance on the bureaucratic process to receive approval, along with information on the budget, human resource, and time considerations for any organization that would like to undertake a similar initiative. If available we will also be happy to come out and paint with you.

Please don’t hesitate to email us so we can connect to support you in this important pursuit. Email https:// www.columbiavalleypride.org/contact.

Mirroring what WHO’s director-general is advocating, we must reduce carbon emissions and promote renewable energy in our facilities. We are making strides towards these actions but the fear is that it’s too little, too late.

Clarification

The Columbia Valley Pioneer needs to clarify information in last week’s editorial regarding the size of campfires that are permitted in B.C. The size is 0.5 metres high by 0.5 metres wide. This is to ensure public safety and to prevent the spread of wildfire.
