Traffic fatality C AROLYN GR ANT bulletin@cyberlink.ca
Not much is known about a single vehicle accident on Hwy 95A just north of Kimberley last Friday afternoon except that it was a rollover and there was a fatality. The accident reportedly occurred about eight kilometres from Kimberley in the Meadowbrook area. Southeast Traffic Services and the Kimberley RCMP closed the highway for several hours to investigate. A statement from the RCMP was not available
at press item. Meanwhile weather conditions may be a contributing factor in a Roger’s Pass accident that took the life of a 12 year old boy on Friday morning. Police say a truck and car collided head-on just after 10 a.m. Friday, about two kilometres east of the Rogers Pass Summit. A 12-year-old boy riding in the truck was pronounced dead at the scene. Four others were seriously injured. The roads were slushy at the time of the accident.

Government looks to review teachers’ bargaining process C AROLYN GR ANT bulletin@cyberlink.ca
Last week, Premier Christy Clark announced that there will be a review of the teacher bargaining process that will see government engage with the British Columbia Teachers’ Federation (BCTF)
and other education stakeholders on how best to make systemic improvements prior to the next round of bargaining. “As we settle into a new school year, a key goal for government is to create a more stable learning environment for B.C.’s students and their families” said

With the first signs of winter definitely in the air, it’s time for the great fall debate — should I purchase snow tires or not? Should I try to get another year out of my tires or should I get new ones? And then there’s that sign on the way out of town, ‘Use Winter Tires or Carry Chains Beyond This Point’. A common question is — does this mean you have to use snow tires? And if you don’t, will your insurance cover you if there’s an
accident? The answer to both questions is yes and no. Snow tires are not mandatory in B.C. according to
the RCMP, but you could be ticketed, or sent back home, for not having them in any of the zones across the province with signs like the one above.
