Community News
Camp Koolaree propane-less
After mounting a hugely successful fundraising campaign last year that saw the camp finishing the year in the ‘black’ for the first time in a decade, Camp Koolaree is facing a new struggle. With accreditation in hand from the BC Camping Association, the United Church Camping Association, the Health Authority (for kitchen and water works), an ongoing capital improvement plan, and registrations recovering from the uncertainty of 2013, things looked good for 2014. Just before opening day, however, the local fire inspector provided some bad news. The camp’s propane systems needed an upgrade. Ruling the stoves and hot water tanks out of order, the inspector wrote up a list of requirements, wished the camp well, and left the board wondering what might come next. A plan was soon developed. Hot water for showers and washing up would come from a wood heating system, propane barbeques and stoves would be set up in the dining hall, and the improvements required to meet the standards set by the inspection would be put in place as soon as possible. Word went out, donations of materials and time were offered and organized, and campers arrived. The first Koolaree run camp has seen 30 teen co-ed campers enjoying the place. The Board looks forward to another four camps over the next four weeks. To donate to the kitchen fund visit: www.campkoolaree.ca

Opinion&Editorial My Opinion
by Spencer Pollard
Mixing the Old with the New With the rapidly evolving technology of our modern age, it can be easy to discard older ideas with the new. I, however, think that the old can still be of value and, in many cases, be superior to the new. These ideas have been with us for as long as I can recall and are just as important today as they have been in the past. The first idea is one that I’m sure many of you are aware of. “Carpe Diem” is Latin for “seize the day” and it’s a phrase I
know many of you follow to the umpteenth degree. Secondly, throughout history, community has been paramount and that is just as true today as it was then. We have a wealth of resources if we rely on one another if necessary to make our world a better place. Let’s use those resources. I feel like it’s these ideals and ideas from the past that continue to influence us today. If we continue to incorporate the old with the new, we should turn out okay. Well, most of us anyways.

Opinion&Editorial Canadian Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL)
Canada has instituted anti-spam legislation By Nelson Becker in order to, h o p e f u l l y, eliminate spam coming into your email inbox. It is clear that the main culprits of spam are those local and foreign companies that want to scam you into giving them personal information or are trying to make you grow this or reduce that. The law itself is a blanket law and affects everyone who sends out commercial emails in Canada. The legislation, which came into effect July 1, 2014, is meant to have
everyone who sends out emails get express consent and therefore permission. In other words, it is a regulation that people must ask to be included in an email list, rather than being able to opt out of an email list. If we compare this with flyers, which are the snail mail equivalent of some forms of spam, the post office allows us to opt-out. However, we are automatically opted in. I believe that it is important that recipients of emails know what they are getting and that they have given express consent. I am well aware that this law will
affect people in organizations who need to reach out to their communities more than actually going after those other scamming companies. Partially, in wanting to keep up with Canadian regulations, and also because, in the end, we feel it is the right thing to do, we will be preparing an opt-in document for you to respond to. This document will make clear what you are signing up for and how to unsubscribe. Over the last couple of weeks I have received many emails from organizations that want to keep me on their list. Some of them have been
nonprofits, some have been commercial companies, some of them I recognize and others I don’t. I hesitate to respond to any, as this is turning out to be another form for spam that this new legislation is creating. A better alternative to CASL would have been to have companies regularly send out how to unsubscribe notices so that in the end we get what we want. By the way, you have always been able to unsubscribe to any of our publications. You can do this by emailing us or using the ‘Safe Unsubscribe’ at the bottom of the email.
some of the specific conditions that prevent women in the Greater Trail region from entering sustainable, non-traditional employment fields. These include: affordable education, career planning and skills training; living wage employment opportunities; and affordable community services. The project researchers looked at a variety of topics to gain insights into the realities of women who live in the project region. Their findings gave the Women Creating Change team a snapshot of the social factors that may support or limit economic security. For example, more than half of the women in the region earn less than $24,000 annually, as compared to one-quarter of men. One-third of the
female labour force works in lower-wage occupations. And for every three female lone-parent families there is one male lone-parent family. There are many small changes that can help to create work environments that better support women. For example, educating employers on the benefits of familyfriendly workplaces—flexible working hours, alternate work arrangements, inhouse childcare and supportive supervisory staff—will go far to assist women with families to maintain a healthy work−life balance. More information about the Women Creating Change project can be had by contacting the Trail Community Skills Centre, 250-231-9142, or wcc@ communityskillscentre.com
Women Creating Change Project I had the pleasure of meeting recently by Alex Atamanenko, MP with Ann Godderis and Jan Morton, two of the coordinators of the Trail and area Women Creating Change project. Ann and Jan presented me and my staff with an overview of this initiative, a partnership between the Greater Trail Community Skills Centre and the Trail Family and Individual Resource Centre Society (Trail FAIR). We started out by watching a powerful DVD called Photo Voice that was assembled from photos taken by a group of eight Trail women living in poverty. Each woman’s voice gave examples of
the kind of barriers that they encounter in their daily lives: lack of affordable childcare, transportation and housing; provincial social service policies that inhibit personal initiative; and a lack of hope for their and their children’s future. The DVD was a bleak reminder of how far we still have to go as a society to ensure access to essential services for all families, regardless of their makeup or income level. You can view Photo Voice on the Women Creating Change website: womencreatingchange.org. Jan and Ann then spoke about the aims of the Women Creating Change project and the work that has been done so far. The goal of the project is not to try to solve societal inequities on a large scale, but rather to address
