KIMBERLEY NEWS Newspaper December 5, 1953 Members Must Attend Council Meetings As a result of the poorly attended Student Council meetings the Council has decided to take action. In order to carry on effective meetings, every class and club member must attend these meetings. The president pointed out that the constitution states that a member must not miss more than two meetings or they will be dismissed from the Council. At a meeting immediately prior to the Student Council meeting, Mr. Young stated that the Grade Nine’s will definitely attend the senior party in December. He said that there are close to 400 Juniors and this would crowd the junior dance immensely. The Constitution is now being revised and will include many new points which have arisen. A discussion was held on the possibilities of the Council procuring an Alumni book. This matter was not settled but will be at the next council meeting.
Student Council Grants $35 To Journalism Club
The meeting held on Tuesday, November 24, in the Student Council room was a success for Journalism Club. The Council granted the Journalism Club $35 for paper for the Christmas issue of the Green and Gold. Chris Sorensen received his block K, athletic and scholarship awards. Reports were given on the Social council, Athletic Council, Drama Club, Prefects and House Captains gave a summary, and stated that they were very disappointed in the houses. A report
from Ray Turner of the Drama Club stated that they wanted a loan of the records for the dance on Friday. The president of the curling club stated that they were going to hold a bonspiel for all the rinks before Christmas, and it was to be held in Kimberley. A discussion on the new trophy case took place. President Pat Ratcliffe asked for volunteers for cleaning the cups and the shelves before they are put into place. The senior students are to do the arranging of the cups.

Successful Trade and Craft Fair. The Marysville School Parent Advisory Council is pleased to report that their 5th Annual Trade and Craft Fair that took place on November 17th was an enormous success. Over 430 adults came through the doors to shop and browse the booths of 31 vendors. The event was made possible thanks to the many dedicated parents and students, the staff of Marysville School, the maintenance staff for SD6, the vendors that booked tables as well as made generous donations of fabulous door prizes, the members of the Dynamiters Hockey team and of course the incredible support of our community! The money that was raised will be used to support literacy programs in the school.
Cranbrook Chamber wades into sign bylaw debate Annalee Grant Townsman Staff
The Cranbrook and District Chamber of Commerce has formed an ad-hoc committee to look at Cranbrook City Council’s proposed changes to the sign bylaw ahead of a public consultation session Wednesday. The Chamber Sign Bylaw Committee met for the first time on Friday, November 30 after concerns were brought up over the city’s new draft sign bylaw that came before council for first reading at the November 19 regular meeting. Jason Wheeldon, chair of the committee, said it’s important that business owners not jump to conclusions with the proposed bylaw, because it is merely out for public consultation at this point. “They’re floating it, it’s not set in stone. They’re looking for public input,” Wheeldon said. The Chamber has however had a number of concerns brought up by its members, and the committee is currently
in the process of compiling that information to bring before council as a delegation. Wheeldon said the Chamber has looked through the sign bylaw, and they are trying to get as much feedback from their members as they can. “We have identified a few areas that we would like to have some further discussions about,” he said. “We want to make sure that we engage our members.” Already the proposed sign bylaw has been a hot button issue in the city, but Wheeldon stresses that nothing has become bylaw yet. “There’s a lot of confusion,” he said. The new bylaw allows for seven new sign types and changes the
height and size requirements for signs. For instance, freestanding signs will only be allowed to be six metres tall, down from 10.6 metres tall, if the new bylaw is approved. This rule is designed to reduce clutter on the skyline through Cranbrook and improve viewscapes. A number of signs that exist in Cranbrook at the moment are slated to be prohibited under the new bylaw. Most notably, these include “day-glo”, fluorescent, and luminous signs, as well as sandwich board signs. But any existing signs will be exempt from the new rules if the bylaw passes as is; however new and renovated signs will be subject to any bylaw changes.
