JCI national conference
Conference Centre gets rave reviews Could not have gone better says Conference Chair CAROLYN GRANT bulletin@cyberlink.ca
The JCI Canadian National Convention was held at the Kimberley Conference and Athlete Training Centre last weekend and according to Conference Chair Mike Adams of the local JCI Kootenays chapter, it was a resounding success. “It went great,” he said. “I had nothing but great feedback. The members were thrilled with the conference centre.” Attracting the conference to a smaller town was a bit of a coup as the national conventions are almost always held in major urban centres. “Going back the six years I’ve been attending the conventions, I’ve been to Winnipeg, Edmonton, Calgary, Toronto; the smallest city I’d been to was Kelowna, so coming to an area like this was different,” Adams said. “One lady who has been going to the conventions for 17 years said the facilities were as good as any major city,” Adams said.

On Thursday September 20, 2012 Marysville Elementary school had yet another successful Harvest Day. Every fall for the past four years Marysville students from kindergarten through grade three help harvest their very own garden and also learn all about composting. This Harvest day was extra special because for the first time ever at Marysville the entire school has started composting on a daily basis. The children and staff are excited to help our environment even more. Great Job Marysville students!

License of occupation
Nature Park Management Plan revisions
Public comment invited on updated plan CAROLYN GRANT bulletin@cyberlink.ca
The 800-hectare Kimberley Nature Park is operated by the Nature Park Society through a License of Occupation over the land granted by the provincial
government to the City of Kimberley. This spring the Province offered the City a 30-year renewal of its License of Occupation for the Nature Park on the condition that the Park management plan be updated. The original Management Plan was written in 2001 when the first License of Occupation authorized the use of the area for
conservation, recreation and educational purposes and required that a Management Plan be created to guide the development of the Park. A draft version of the revised plan has now been posted to the Nature Park website at http:// www.kimberleynaturepark.ca/ plan2.htm This Management Plan was
created to ensure that the stewardship of the Kimberley Nature Park protects the flora and fauna that inhabit it, provides significant recreational opportunities for the community, and respects the wishes of residents of Kimberley and the Province of British Columbia.
