The Atlin Whisper
“Never doubt that a small group of committed citizens can change the world.”
Margaret Mead
Hello Atlin Artists
Do you have a workshop you would like to do at the Atlin Arts & Music Festival?
It’s your time to Shine!
WE are asking you 1st
Contact Rhoda at rlmerkel@yahoo.ca or on Facebook Messanger. Contact me if you have questions.
We have other artists contacting us – so apply ASAP.
You will have 2-two-hour workshops for 20 people (or more)
Supply fee is $20 per person = you get 100% of it.
Make your emergency plan today!
Take 30 minutes this week to talk with the people you live with and your neighbours about emergency planning.
An emergency plan outlines how you and the people you live with will respond to a disaster. Knowing in advance what to do, where to go and who to contact will reduce stress and help keep you focused and safe if an emergency occurs
Know your hazards
Knowing the hazards you need to plan for is an important step to being prepared.
Not sure what to prepare for? Take a look at the hazards listed. Which ones do you need to prepare for in Atlin?
Make your plan
Make your plan using PreparedBC’s interactive Emergency Ready plan or the fill-in-the-blanks home emergency plan. Remember to write down important phone numbers, health and insurance information so you have it on hand if you need to leave home quickly. Keep copies in your emergency kit and graband-go bags!
Learn more about how to get prepared and follow trusted sources for information during an emergency.

“A New Lease On Life”
A Winter whiteout gusty, blustery bitter, biting cold you’ve been out so long in need of shelter hold on almost home.
You open the door and lo and behold you’re enveloped by the aroma of a hearty beef stew reaching out to you.
As you slowly warm, thoughts of that beef stew invigorate you, give a new lease on life. You are going to eat like there’s no tomorrow.

Thank you,
Message from the Atlin community representative on the Government to Government Forum between BC and TRTFN ( the G2G Forum).
The G2G Forum addresses important issues on the land base, including mining and mineral exploration, protected areas, fish and wildlife management, as well as research and monitoring.
As your Atlin Community representative, I would like to hear from you about topics that are important to you so I can be the conduit of Atlin Community interests at the Forum.
Share your thoughts on the management planning process that BC Parks and Taku River Tlingit First Nation are initiating in regards to the Atlin Park and the Wilson Creek - Nelson Lake Conservancy at https://helpshapebc.gov.bc.ca/atlin-engagement
A single management plan will be prepared for both protected areas due to their adjacency and similarities in their natural values, ecosystems, and interest holders. This management plan will set out the long-term, strategic direction for both protected areas and provides guidance for how both Atlin/Áa Tlein Téix̱ 'i Park and Willison Creek – Nelson Lake/Sít’ Héeni Conservancy will be managed into the future.
The next forum is scheduled for March 4-5, 2025 (on-line format).
Send me your questions or issues relating to the scope of the G2G by emailing infoatling2g@gmail.com

The Evidence
The evidence is all there
Our choice:
Read it, or run from it
The
Blind Spot
The devil does not hide in the shadows
He operates in broad daylight right in front of us
And thus, we fail to see him
The devil does not have a forked tail
He has a cashmere cardigan and a charming smile
And thus, we fail to notice him
The devil does not move with great speed
But with unfathomable deliberateness
And thus, we fail to discern him
The Choice
Then, one sunny morning, humanity wakes up
Realizing…
That God is real
That Satan is real
And we have a real choice here
The Revelation
We are so lucky
We are living in unprecedented times
We get to act as witnesses
And as agents of positive change
As the ultimate battle plays out before us
Humanity is waking up
Recognizing the grand illusion
And standing up for what is real
The grand lie is falling apart
As it gets bigger and deeper each day
Desperately trying to hold its narrative together
One by one we are asking the crucial questions
And the vague answers are no longer acceptable
As they can’t continue to hide the distortions
The evidence is all there
We are digging deep and finding it
They can censor it all they want
But we find it, and we wake up
And the world becomes brighter
The Realization
The big lie
Is so big, so bold, so brazen
That we see it not for what it is
As we cannot possibly fathom
A lie of such a magnitude
Yet, after much cross-examination
Deep enquiry
And corroboration
There it is:
A big, fat lie
Staring us square in our faces
And we wonder, Howcouldwenotseeitbeforenow?
So, we squirm in our seats
As we consider our gullibility
Our culpability
And our responsibility
