Electric vehicles will soon have a place to charge up in Hope.

Sun Country Highway provided the district with a new 90-amp charger at no cost, after identifying the community as a strategic location. The company is working towards having charging stations located about every 60 kilometres along major highways.

“Our philosophy is that we need to get the infrastructure out there, but we realize municipalities are cash strapped,” said Rob MacGregor, Sun Country’s re-

Sun Country Highway currently has about 100 chargers installed across Canada, with the greatest concentration on Vancouver Island. As demand for electric vehicles grows, MacGregor said it will bring jobs and prosperity into the region through manufacturing.

Bergeron said the industry has changed over the years, challenging her to evolve as an artist while staying true to her roots. She points to country superstar Reba McEntire as a musical influence who continues to stand the test of time.

“It’s very cut throat,” she said.

“You have to love it be-

African penguin brings attention to Hope Hope’s newest ambassador is an African penguin at the Vancouver Aquarium.

The black and white bird was recently named after the community, thanks to a written submission by Nicole Souza.

The aquarium decided to name each of its seven new pen-

guins after a B.C. town. More than 600 entries were received during the one-month contest, with submissions ranging from original artwork and fun video, to quirky poems and stories.

Souza wrote a song called “We are Little Penguins,” sung to the tune of “I’m a Little Teapot.” She

said she chose the name “Hope” because African penguins are an endangered species.

“Now people from all over the world will be able to see and learn about these beautiful animals and their plight when they come to visit the Vancouver Aquarium,” Souza wrote in her

submission. “‘Hope the Penguin’ can be an ambassador for the species and encourage people to learn about ways they can help protect penguins, like buying sustainable seafood.”

The other contest winners were Lillooet, Nelson, Salt Spring, Sechelt, Steveston and Tofino.

Drivers are revving up their engines for the eighth annual Summer Smash event.

More than 40 competitors are expected to participate in the races and demolition derbies this weekend at the Sixth Avenue Sportsbowl.

“People like the destruction and mayhem,” said co-organizer Dusty Smith. “With the 4x4 races, you get to watch guys wreck their vehicles.

It’s fun for everybody.”

Saturday will focus on 4x4 and mini-stock races, as well as a heat of the truck demolition derby.

An outdoor concert is also planned for Saturday night with Swampwater featuring local performer Keith Campbell.

The show runs from 8-12 p.m. in the demolition derby pit.

old vehicle parts will be handed out to winners and the top three in each class receives a cash prize.

There will also be a beer garden set up throughout the weekend and concession provided by the Hope Eagles.

Organizers are hoping warmer weather will draw more people to

the Sportsbowl this year to support local competitors. Smith said each driver spends on average $800 and 100 hours on their derby cars and trucks.

“It’s gratifying having people in the stands watching you,” he added.

Summer Smash gets underway at 1 p.m. each day, with vehicle regis-

tration and inspection starting at 10 a.m. Hope Search and Rescue is providing safety checks, while Hope Crime Prevention looks after ticket sales. Entry for participants is $40 per vehicle.

Weekend wristbands to the event are $10, or $25 for admission to the motorsports events and outdoor concert.

Outdoor education partnership renewed Local students will be able to participate in watershed and forestry programs over the next three years, thanks to renewed sponsorship by Nestlé Waters Canada.

The company has provided Hope Mountain Centre for Outdoor Learning with $61,000 to continue offering Young Stewards of the Wetlands, Young Stewards of the Watershed and Forest Ecology, programs that were jointly developed by the centre and Fraser-Cascade school district.

“The wetlands and watersheds of the Fraser River will continue to serve as classrooms for our students as they explore and come to understand the value of healthy waterways,” said Michelle Wiens, board chair at Hope Mountain Centre.

Using a hands-on learning approach delivered through a naturalist, teachers and adult volunteers, students gain an understanding and personal connection to the wetlands and watersheds that support the Fraser River, the largest watershed in

B.C. Thacker Regional Park, Cheam Lake wetlands and the Miami River feature spawning and rearing channels for salmon, trails, and a multitude of birdlife, insects and mammals.

“The students who take this environmental education today will be the stewards of our waterways tomorrow – and it is critically important that they understand the significance of this key ecological feature of their community at an early age,” said John Zupo, president of Nestlé Waters Canada.

Notice of Field Studies For the Proposed Trans Mountain Expansion Project

Camryn Scherle, left, and Brayden Wilson enjoy the Blast Off to a Safe Summer Party at Hope & District Recreation Centre last Friday. The event, which was co-sponsored

by Hope Library, featured live music from Pas Pascucci, chalk activities, bubbles and watermelon.

Teams have begun the field program related to the proposed Trans Mountain Expansion project. This field work is taking place along the pipeline corridor. It will gather information, as a first step, to support routing and environmental studies for the proposed project. These studies will be used in the preparation of Kinder Morgan Canada’s facilities application which is expected to be filed with the National Energy Board in late 2013.

Field studies began in June 2012 and will continue throughout 2012 and 2013 field seasons. The timing and nature of this field work will be subject to change depending on the weather and time of day. The work includes: Wildlife and bird surveys Fish and fish habitat assessments Soil and vegetation identification Noise and air quality studies Forestry health review Archaeology field studies Traditional knowledge studies Route feasibility assessments

Siberian smoke wafts across ocean Pollution arriving due to ‘perfect’ set of conditions

Jeff Nagel Black Press

We are committed to a thorough and open engagement program about the proposed Trans Mountain Expansion Project. For more information, please contact us:

Haze in the air over the Lower Mainland is being blamed on smoke wafting across the Pacific from huge wildfires in Siberia.

The smoke rising in Asia soars thousands of feet in the atmosphere and then is being carried here by air currents before being forced closer to ground level by the same high pressure system that brought the hot clear weather this past weekend.

It’s resulted in fine particulate levels almost double what the Fraser Valley would normally see, he said.

Big wildfires are also burning in Colorado but Reid said it’s unlikely to be carried here with the current weather patterns.

Higher temperatures could be coming towards the end of the week, he said, possibly causing more smog by then.

So far Metro officials are watching conditions and haven’t yet issued any air quality advisories.

Public consultation on pipeline expansion Wanda Chow Black Press

The long awaited public consultation process on the proposed expansion of the Trans Mountain pipeline is set to start in September.

The company plans to twin the pipeline, which runs from Edmonton to Burnaby, increasing capacity from the current 300,000 barrels per day (bpd) to 750,000 bpd to allow for increased exports overseas of bitumen crude oil from the Alberta oil sands.

Lexa Hobenshield, the company’s external relations manager, said if the expansion proceeds, 510,000 bpd of that capacity would serve the fixed 20-year contracts customers recently committed to, while the rest would serve month-tomonth customers.

Hobenshield explained that 25 to 30 per cent of the existing 1,150-km pipeline is already twinned, so the company will be applying to the National Energy Board (NEB) to twin the remaining 900 km.

Kinder Morgan will file its expansion application with the NEB in late 2013, which will

include a “potential corridor.” If the NEB gives the go-ahead to the project, then the company would come up with a detailed specific route which would go through its own NEB approval process.

In the next couple of weeks, the company will make a commercial tolling application, seeking NEB approval of its fee, or tolling, structure for the post-expansion pipeline, essentially asking it to approve the fees on

the agreements it signed in the fixed contracts.

If it receives all the required approvals, Kinder Morgan will spend $4 billion and two years building the expansion, which would then go into service in late 2017.

Opinion

Agreement brings peace Bill 22 was a hammer where a feather was needed but, thanks to some fancy footwork by mediator Charles Jago, the worst elements of Bill 22 have been rendered moot, an agreement has been reached and B.C.’s public school teachers and their employers will live to fight another day.

While BC Teachers’ Federation president Susan Lambert characterized the mediation process as a sham, labelled the pressure teachers were under as bullying and the agreement the best that could be achieved under duress, some modest improvements were gained, albeit not in wages. More importantly, the two-year contract ending in 2013 contains few if any of the concessions that had been demanded by the employers, the BC Public School Employers’ Association.

True, there are no improvements in class size and composition language, and the government chose to tighten the screws on teachers with Bill 22 by eliminating limits without giving teachers any of the control they sought in classroom organization. The government claims its $165-million Learning Improvement Fund will allay some of the concerns by putting more teachers and special education assistants in the classroom.

It’s unlikely teachers will be satisfied given their ongoing concerns about what they view as government attacks on their professionalism, autonomy, control over classroom organization and wages. Some of these issues will be addressed through the courts in the hopes that the judicial system will give teachers what the government will not while wages will remain a sticking point when negotiations resume. For parents, the teachers’ agreement is a relief after months of uncertainty and anxiety, a three-day walk-out and withdrawal of teachers’ support for field trips and other volunteer activities. But the relief will be short-lived unless the economy turns around, the government changes or it turns out that more money does make a difference to in the classroom — although there will never be enough cash to solve every issue.

Nuggets from Barlee’s gold pan B.C. VIEWS Tom Fletcher Shortly after word came of the death of B.C. historian and politician Bill Barlee, my wife searched through her seemingly endless trove of B.C. books and produced half a dozen of his original selfpublished quarterlies, known as Canada West magazine.

The earliest one is Winter 1970, where the publisher’s note advises that subscription rates were increasing 20 cents per year to $2.95. Subscriptions were up to more than 1,600 and counter sales were increasing, but costs were also up and Barlee refused to accept either display advertising or U.S. subscriptions.

The only colour pages in the issue are high-quality prints of four majestic paintings commis-

Irvine Adams’ scenes of sacred aboriginal sites in the OkanaganSimilkameen include The Gateway to Inkameep, where Barlee remarks: “Today that stream which once teemed with redfish no longer surrenders its oncevalued harvest and the perimeter of the desert is gradually being eroded by man’s questionable progress.”

With the typography of Old West wanted posters, Barlee provided tightly sourced accounts of B.C.’s legends.

“Lost gold mine at Pitt Lake” analyzes and adds to earlier accounts that begin with an aboriginal miner known as Slumach, who would periodically arrive in New Westminster to squander a small fortune in gold, then disappear up the remote tidal lake.

Slumach was hanged for murder in 1891 and in the next 70 years, 11 more men would die trying to find his secret. A scien-

A passion for prospecting runs through the magazines, and hints at Barlee’s aversion to treasure-

the Silvery Slocan.”

Barlee bought a surviving block of buildings in an effort to make Sandon another Barkerville, but heavy snow collapsed them. As tourism minister, Barlee found money to build replicas, and construction began on three.

But Barlee lost his Penticton seat to Bill Barisoff in the 1996 election, and today only halfbuilt shells remain.

“He was still selling Sandon’s restoration as an economic saviour for the region when he ran for federal office in 2000,” Nesteroff writes. “But by then he was ridiculed for it, and finished a distant second.”

Barlee’s 1972 Canada West profile of the boomtown of Hedley would resonate in his career as an NDP MLA and cabinet minister in the 1990s. Hedley’s Nickel Plate and Mascot mines produced fortunes in gold, silver and copper before they played out, and Barlee led the fight to preserve

I first discovered Barlee as a reporter at the Kelowna Capital News in the early 1980s, when he did a weekly history show on CHBC television called Gold Trails and Ghost Towns. A barebones studio affair with tales and artifacts displayed for host Mike Roberts, the show lasted a decade.

Barlee didn’t lack courage, quitting a teaching career in Trail and Penticton in 1969 to start his magazine. On subscription fees and a few classified ads, he built a life’s work that allowed him to walk the boardwalks of history and the halls of power.

Thunderbird is making a difference It has been brought to my attention that there is a Facebook page called “Victims of Hope BC Thefts.”

On behalf of the Hope and Area Transition Society, I am making this comment to provide clarification to those who are ill-informed regarding the Thunderbird Motel Project.

The Hope and Area Transition Society has been providing services and programs to individuals and families affected by social issues since 1994. Thirteen programs and services are offered through the agency under three broad streams of social issues: domestic violence, addictions and homelessness.

The Thunderbird Motel Project was established in September 2009 when it became apparent through the Homeless Outreach Program that individuals needing housing were unable to secure and maintain housing due to a variety of complex issues. A partnership was established with the Thunderbird Motel owner who was already renting to the at-risk population, with no support services in place. When our agency entered into a partnership relationship with the motel owner, it was agreed that we would place the at-risk clients at the motel and provide support services to them. The client signs an agreement and sets out goals that they want to achieve and Paul Keller, the Homeless Outreach Program coordinator, works alongside the client

to support them in their goals. Also, it is required that the clients participate in volunteering around the motel, and this could be landscaping, light maintenance, housekeeping, helping with food preparations, or working in the garden.

On a weekly or daily basis the following services are offered to the clients to support them in making change in their life: HELP addiction meetings, nurse practitioner, needle exchange program/ nurse, Aboriginal mental health services, mental health services, legal aid and advocacy services, mobile library services and daily resident meetings. In addition to these services being offered, a daily breakfast and mid-day meal is provided and is prepared by the residents themselves. Support and advocacy is offered

by Paul Keller at various appointments with clients on a daily basis, transporting into to town as needed and when available. There are community volunteers who come out and work with the residents, either in the garden or just working with them to meet their daily needs.

Many of the clients that live at the Thunderbird are there because of a variety of reasons such as: mental health instability, addictions, acquired brain injury, and dementia just to name a few.

Yes, there are many clients who are stilled engaged in their addiction and struggle with their mental health issues and there are those who do turn to

criminal activities. However, many of the clients have reduced their usage of drugs substantially and as a Fraser Health provider, Fraser Health subscribes to a harm reduction model which is supported at the Thunderbird. Ultimately the goal is for them is to no longer be using, but for some of the clients they may have had decades of hard drug use and it will take time for them make even small changes.

As for the clients who have mental health issues, by being at the Thunderbird their mental health wellness is monitored and if it appears that they are digressing in their wellness immediate services are engaged to ensure that they are admitted to the hospital as to ensure their well being and the safety of everyone. As for the criminal behaviour of some of the clients, we as an agency do not condone this behaviour and when it comes to our attention Paul Keller will address this immediately with our RCMP liaison officer.

We have had to evict residents for their behaviour that jeopardizes the integrity of the program. Most recently we have had security cameras installed so we are able to monitor the premises and address concerns in an immediate fashion. There is night monitor that lives on site and Paul Keller is available Monday to Friday.

What is important to know is that we recently conducted an investigation of the number of police contacts that our residents have had pre-Thunderbird

Fundraiser was a success response from nearly all of them. Each year when we do our drive, we run across a couple of small businesses that feel that they can’t give because of the downturn in the economy, or private reasons, or other reasons for their business being slow. If they would let the people of Hope and area know, their businesses would probably turn around. This year, of

the 50 people asked I am happy to say 49 donated from the heart, that is a passing grade of 98 per cent from the merchants, businesses and residents of Hope and area. Keep up the good work with Station House, for we would like to see all of the people from Hope and area come out and enjoy this great building.

BC Liberals are on their way out It’s yet another present from our soon to be gone provincial government.

The rip-off carbon tax on gas rose again last Sunday.

The only consolation for me is the next provincial election is in May of 2013.

That is when the BC Lieberals (sic) will cease to exist. What will happen to them is exactly the same thing that happened to the

TIPS TO CONSERVE WATER Let your lawn go dormant during the summer. Dormant grass only needs to be watered every three weeks or less if it rains.

Check the root zone of your lawn or garden for moisture before watering using a spade or trowel. If it’s still moist two inches under the soil surface, you still have enough water.

I would like to congratulate our Hope Station House fundraising committee for another completely successful silent auction. We would like to thank all of the merchants, businesses, and residents of Hope and area that gave generously from the heart to make it a success. Of the 50 or so places that we canvassed, we would like to say we had a positive

and six months post-Thunderbird and it was noted that there was a 50 per cent reduction in ‘negative police contacts.’

This is a significant reduction in contacts. With that said, we would like to see this number reduced by 100 per cent and we would like to see all our clients healthy, stable and working. The reality is that social issues are systemic and need a wholistic approach to make change. We would like to see more programs, services and hours spent on helping those living at the Thunderbird and others in our community who are struggling with social issues.

Collaboration and cooperation is required to make any social changes and the importance in knowing the facts prior to engaging various levels of government is critical. Not knowing the facts and what is needed and going in based on emotions reduces the creditability of grassroots organizations that do really care and want to make a difference. A thoughtful approach, underpinned with facts will ensure creditability and will sustain the changes that are needed.

I do hope this provides a snapshot of what we are actually doing at the Thunderbird and I do invite anyone who would like a tour of the project to contact me at 604-869-5111 (ext. 231).

Challenging hike offers aerial views Mount Hope Lookout Trail is Hope’s version of the Grouse Grind Barry Stewart Hope Standard

BARRY STEWART / THE STANDARD

Two groups enjoy the recently-improved vantage point at the Mount Hope Lookout on Monday morning.

Marilyn Harrington (with dog, Jodi) and Sue Williams (right) of Chilliwack Lake hiked with their friend Halle Hansen of Agassiz. The group planned on cooling down at Flood Falls in the afternoon

you want a conditioning boost, Richardson suggests using the hill for interval training. “Go all-out for 30-second bursts,” she says.

“This moves you into your anaerobic zone.”

Inge Wilson, manager of the Hope Visitor Centre and Museum Complex says the trail is used extensively by people in the community that are training for something, or are trying to set a personal best.

It’s also easy to give directions to interested tourists, as staff can point to the rocky slope of the lookout from the front door of the visitor centre. Parking is near the old train station, south of the highway overpass. Look for signage at the parking lot.

“I find coming down is mentally

and physically tougher than going up,” cautions Wilson, who goes on many hikes with the Hope Outdoors Club. “You have to pay a lot more attention on your footing, to avoid taking a tumble — and anyone who has issues with knees or hips will feel it... even if they are taking rests.”

The “Hope Hustle” trail race is held each September. It starts at the trailhead and goes to the main lookout. The fittest — and lightest — athletes have been doing the race in the low 20-minute range.

Even under 30 minutes requires a high heart rate and lungs on fire.

Try that pace, if you’re up to it — but the info centre staff recommend a 2.5 hour round trip for the “average” hiker.

Other than the first lookout, most of the hike is in the shade of huge trees, making it much more bearable on a hot day. Along the way, enjoy the bird songs, the earthy smell of the forest and the lush green undergrowth.

Your ultimate reward is the lookout, 500 metres above the parking lot. On a clear day, you’ll be able to see northward past Yale and all of Hope, including Kawkawa Lake.

If you’re a first-timer, you might wonder if you’re ever going to get there.

Using a pedometer, it took about 3,600 steps to go from the parking lot to the main lookout. Hiking with my friend John Koopman, we took about 42 minutes for the ascent, working at above a 120 bpm

Feeling guilty about eating that bacon cheeseburger and fries? The Mount Hope Lookout Trail can help.

Hope’s version of North Vancouver’s famous Grouse Grind has much to offer — and calorie burning is a benefit that becomes obvious within the first few minutes on the trail. Over the two kilometre route, which was developed in the late 1980s, you’ll be averaging a one-metre rise for every four metres of distance. The Grouse Grind is 2.9 kilometres one way and has an average one-metre rise for every 3.6 metres of distance.

Advantages for the Lookout Trail? It’s right here, it’s free — and you get to hike back down, for a total four-kilometre round trip. On the Grind, it’s one way only, with a paid tram ride to get back to your car.

“The Grind is another third longer and is more intense,” says local fitness instructor Kim Richardson, who has climbed both routes and makes good use of the Lookout Trail.

“Hill climbing builds excellent aerobic endurance, especially on the way up,” she says.

“Coming down can be stressful on the knees — but I now use climbing poles. They give you a good upper body workout and they make it safer, coming down.

“It’s a bit like comparing a twowheel drive vehicle to a four-wheel drive,” says Richardson.

“With all the benches they have installed along the way, the trail does afford chances for different fitness levels,” adds Richardson.

“And the trail is really well-maintained.”

For people who are just starting to build up their fitness — or those who don’t have time for the whole climb — Richardson suggests only travelling part way up, to the Joan Greenwood loop trail in the first third, for example.

If you have a few more steps left in you, you can continue to the first lookout, about five more minutes up the trail.

If you’re in reasonable shape and

heart rate.

The key landmark for us was the long staircase that is filled with rocky rubble. On the right, there is a rocky outcropping. This was at the 32:00 minute mark and 2,900 steps...so about three quarters done.

After the staircase stretch, there will be a long switch back to the right, then a left-right-left and you’ll be at the bottom entrance to the rocky lookout slope. It’s well worth continuing up the trail to the main lookout, which is about 300 grinding steps further.

Unless you’re in a rush, take the time to drink in the view and sign the log book that is stashed in the cairn. Be sociable and have a chat with any hikers that happen to be there. On our trip, we met three women from Agassiz and Chilliwack Lake — and a couple from Wegscheid, Germany: Andreas and Alexandra Obermaier, who took a leisurely 1.5 hours for the ascent.

In the spring of 2012, Katimavik volunteers spent many weeks improving the trail and a group of about 10 local and visiting volunteers put 200 man-hours into transforming the main lookout.

Nat Baker, manager of Pages Book Store, was one of the weekend workers.

“My first impression was ‘this is going to take forever,” he recalled, “but piece by piece, it started to take shape.”

Trail note: Before setting out on the hike, I weighed myself — including my water container. Anything I drank on the trip would be out of the bottle and inside me... at least until it got sweated or breathed out. Weighing myself and the bottle post-hike would show any losses of water.

At the second weigh-in, I tipped the scales at four pounds less.

That’s almost two kilograms, which would mean that over two litres of water went “up in smoke,” if you consider the half litre I drank en route.

Our word for the day: hydrate!

Next week, we’ll cover a short and easy hike that has a very cool feature at the end... the see-through bridge deck over the Fraser River on the old Alexandra Bridge trail.

FAMILY ANNOUNCEMENTS

Rick was taken from us far too soon on June 26th and without the chance to tell him what he meant to us. Ironically, he died in the same week, at the same age and with the same suddenness as his father 27 years prior.

His life was celebrated by his family at their home in Hope.

Many warm and loving memories were and continue to be shared by his wife Irene, his son Chris, his daughter Kenni, and by mother Lois, brother Mike, sisters Sandy, Joanne & Margie and many loving nieces, nephews and cousins.

Rick really wanted to discover how life, the universe and “everything” was put together and he always pondered and probed the great mysteries from ham radios, to computers to the meaning of life. Discovering his own spirituality brought Rick great peace and comfort. Recently he often said that his life had never been better.

Shirley Patricia (Pat) Ostlund passed away peacefully in her 89th year at Fraser Hope Lodge in Hope, with her family beside her. She was predeceased by her husband Norman and son Richard, and is survived by daughters Joanne (Brian Howard) and Patricia (Kevin Magnall), and son James.

In 1948, Pat and Norm moved from Edmonton, Alberta to Hope, where they raised their four children. After raising her own family, Pat enjoyed spoiling five grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren. Pat was a life-long member of the Anglican Church and served for nearly 70 years on the Altar Guild, both in Edmonton and Hope. She was a Girl Guide Leader for 10 years and enjoyed many camping and hiking trips. Pat was an avid star watcher and naturalist, and instilled her love of nature in her children and grandchildren.

She will be dearly missed.

Special thanks to the staff at Fraser Hope Lodge for the extraordinary care and kindness extended to Pat and her family. Donations to the Hope Hospice Society or a charity of your choice in lieu of flowers would be appreciated.

Our dear Shannon passed away on July 2, 2012 after a two year battle with breast cancer. Shannon was a humorous, strong and courageous woman who maintained these qualities through the challenges of her illness.

Shannon was a loving wife and mother to her husband Graham, her daughter Kylea and her son Adam. Shannon was also a devoted daughter to Hubert Smith, Margot Dixon and her husband Gord Phillips. She was a loving sister to her brother Derek Smith and his wife Andrea and a proud aunt to her nephew Cole.

Shannon will be truly missed by all her aunts, uncles, cousins and her Grandmother Emma as well as all of Graham’s family.

Shannon was a devoted teacher who began her career in Northern B.C. as a band and music teacher in the communities of Stewart and Hazelton. In 1999, Shannon came to the Fraser Cascade School District and taught in Silver Creek and Yale Schools. In 2000 Shannon came to C.E. Barry School where she taught band and over the years became a grade six teacher and school counselor. Shannon was very fond of her years of teaching and of her students over the years.

We would like to thank several people who supported Shannon in her battle. Thanks to Dr. Nanton, Dr. Wiggins, Dr. Hsu and Dr. Gurjal as well as the staff at the Murakami Clinic, Abbotsford Cancer Centre and Fraser Canyon Hospital.

We would also like to thank Pastor Jeff Kuhn and Grace Baptist Church for all the support to our family during Shannon’s illness and following her passing as well as to everyone near and far who prayed for our family.

A celebration of life was held for Shannon at Grace Baptist Church on July 5, 2012.

If desired, please make donations to the BC Cancer Agency in Shannon’s memory.

COMMUNITY ANNOUNCEMENTS 10

CARDS OF THANKS THANK YOU

To Hope RCMP, Dr. Nyirenda and many staff at Fraser Canyon Hospital, Home Health, and Park Street Manor and others in the community.

Thank you to all for your help in keeping Dad safe during his recent challenges with dementia. Your kindness and compassion are so appreciated.

We feel blessed to live in a community with so many caring people.

Sincerely, The Garretts
