In September a group of Grade 6 and 7 students from McKim were invited to participate in the Strongstart Autumn Harvest event at the Early Learning Centre. McKim students set up and ran stations like pumpkin bowling, face painting, crafts and so on. The students had a wonderful time as did the participants!

What is Kimberley’s story? What does Kimberley have that makes it unique among other communities? Makes it a desirable place to work and live? Articulating that identity to others, and even defining it for those who already live in Kimberley, is no easy task. The City of Kimberley has budgeted $80,000 in their financial plan to do just that and they have chosen a local, award-winning business, Story & Co., to tell

Kimberley’s story. “We are looking for a consistent message about our community,” said the City’s Chief Operating Officer Al Mulholland. “The Bavarian theme is still part of who we are, but what’s the story? What are our assets as a community? We want a positive and upbeat message. Kimberley has some positive and unique assets.” Creating this kind of vision is beyond the expertise of City staff says Economic Development Director Kevin Wilson and that’s why the City sought out the best to do it for them. The fact that the best turned out to be right here in Kimberley in the form of Story & Co. is just a happy coincidence, Wilson says.

Mark Creek flume

Church opposes St. Mary’s Ave bridge removal All Saints Church worried about Food Bank CAROLYN GRANT bulletin@cyberlink.ca

As the Mark Creek Flume rebuild continues, concern about the removal of the St. Mary’s Avenue bridge continues as well.

The latest to voice their objections to the bridge removal is All Saints Anglican Church, which is located on Leadenhall Street, and also houses the Kimberley Food Bank. Rev. Trevor Freeman, Priest’s Warden Gerry Lafault and People’s Warden Pat Prefontaine have signed a letter to Mayor and Council asking them to reconsider the current plan in favour of replacing the bridge. Currently the City plans to take out the vehicle bridge at St. Mary’s Avenue and re-

place it with a foot bridge. A new vehicle bridge could potentially be put in further downstream although no final decision on that has been announced. Residents were told at a public meeting at the end of August that replacing the bridge’s current location would be too costly given that the creek will be as much as three times wider in that spot once the creek project is completed. The letter from All Saints states that they

support the flume upgrade but worry about losing the bridge. The removal of the bridge impacts the accessibility of the worship space, especially in inclement weather, says the letter. With limited parking, worshippers find exiting on St. Mary’s the best route. However, the Church’s real concern is the Food Bank, which operates out of the All Saints Basement, and occasionally makes use
