Local white water enthusiasts took to the rushing waters of Mark Creek last Wednesday evening to try out the new flume section. It is the goal of this group to have a white water feature added to the flume project, which is currently on hold until the City can secure funding. It should also be noted that if Mark Creek is fast enough for a great white water ride, care should be taken with children and pets along its banks.
Group still wants white water feature C AROLYN GR ANT editor@dailybulletin.ca
When discussion first began around the need to rehab the concrete flume in Mark Creek, a group of white water enthusiasts approached Kimberley City Council with the idea of inserting a white water course
into the flume. They said it would be a great downtown feature, drawing tourists for competitions. Council was receptive to the idea, but said the group would have to source their own funding, as the City’s primary focus in the project was health and safety. The first phase of the flume, downstream
of Highway 95A, is complete and no white water features were added. However, the kayak group had always felt that phase 2 or 3 would be a more appropriate place for the feature. That didn’t stop them from getting out the kayaks this past Wednesday and seeing what kind of fun could be had in the first
phase of the project. Turns out quite a bit, says paddler Alex Buterman. ”There wasn’t any mentionable feature for us to report, however it is a step in the right direction,” he said.
