The District of Fort St. James is expanding their Pitch-In Week activities this year, with a number of events. Coordinated by Mel Chesnutt, event planner for the District, a number of local groups are participating and helping to promote greener living and reducing our waste. The events are especially timely given the recent discussions at the Regional District of BulkleyNechako about the waste transfer stations and re-use sheds. While for a number of years the District of Fort St. James has provided free garbage bags and gloves to community groups and members wanting to help clean up after the snow uncovers a winter's worth of trash along our streets, this year there are workshops, a film viewing, an art show and tours of the newly rebuilt Integris Recycling Center. The art show, titled Other People's Trash…, is sponsored by the Fort St. James Community Arts Council and will be at the Integris Credit Union between April 17 and May 3 and will feature art made out of reclaimed or recycled materials. The Free the Children group will be showing a film at the Fort St. James National Historic Site on April 22 at 7 p.m. titled Surviving Progress. The Greening Up Fort St. James Society will be hosting class tours on April 22 of their new recycling centre, recently rebuilt after it was destroyed in a fire last year. A vermi-composting (worm composting) workshop will be held at the Fort St. James Library to help people find out how to get super-efficient worm composting going at home. The free workshop will take place on April 23 at 6:30 p.m. There are also twoMel contests running, sponsored Chestnut Owner by the District ofbarehandslandscaping@gmail.com Fort St. James: The Upcycling Challenge and the www.barehandslandscaping.com Go Green Photo Contest. For information on the contests go to fortstjames. ca
Health unit service reduction There will be a short-term reduction in services at the Fort St. James Health Unit until partway through May. Public Health Nurse Pat Short is retiring from her role as the only full-time nurse at the health unit. Her replacement will be beginning orientation on May 1, two weeks after Short's last day. Services will continue, but be reduced to the part time staff.
Thank you The Fort St James Secondary School Sr. Girls Soccer Team would like to thank the residents and businesses of Fort St James for the tremendous support given during our Fundraising Activities this winter. The community support for our soccer trip to Hawaii was amazing. So many individuals and businesses supported our team that it is impossible to thank everyone. To everyone who bought firewood, yard sale items, baked goods, concession items, and raffle tickets thank you. Thank you to everyone who donated items, time and skills to help make this trip successful. A special thanks to Newlands Enterprises, Inland Kenworth, Jeff Playfair Trucking, Little Man Contracting, BNK, Suspenders, The District of Fort St James, Sandy and Don Martin, and the staff of FSJSS for all your support and extra time in helping us make this trip such a great experience. MAHALO! (Thank you).
Henry Erickson is the men's first Ditnikwun player of the week. Henry is from Fort St. James and currently lives in Prince George. Erickson has joined the team to learn more of the Carrier Language and to immerse himself into the healthy commitment of the sport of volleyball. Erickson cannot wait to compare himself to players in Los Angeles and feels he has much to gain from such a travelling experience. Photo by Leon Erickson
