A fire broke out at the former Tembec planer mill on the evening of November 1 and no death or injuries were reported. The City of Cranbrook said 16 firefighters responded to the blaze that started at 9:55 p.m. The crews remained on scene into the morning watching for flair ups and Theatre Road will be closed to traffic in the morning. All commuters will need to find alternate routes. Bystanders at the scene told the Townsman that the fire razed the building that housed the former planer equipment. The City said the building had been out of use for a number of years and it was still unclear if the fire involved the kiln or the joint plant on the property. No cause for the fire has been determined and there are no damage estimates available at this time. See next week for more information.

Bullying rally seeks to unite people from all walks of life ANNALEE GRANT Townsman Staff

Two local women are refusing to sit idly by in the wake of recently publicized teen suicides. Renee Savarie and Danielle Port are joining with communities across the province to host an anti-bul-

lying and suicide awareness rally on November 10. “It is important to have this rally now because we are getting sick and tired of hearing about it in the news of another death from someone being bullied,” Savarie said. “I have known two kids personally who have com-

mitted suicide from being bullied.” Port, who grew up in Cranbrook and recently returned to the area, said she sees the same problems in this city that were prevalent before she left. “Having spent most my life in Cranbrook, I know

what it’s like growing up here and that the bullying itself is a real problem,” she said. “After being gone for 10 years and coming back I still see the problem and I refuse to just sit back and watch it happen.”
