Cranbrook’s Sam Steele Weekend was launched in style with Friday night’s Sam Steele Youth Ambassador Pageant at the Key City Theatre. Makenzie Yates (in left photo, on right) was named Sweetheart of Sam Steele for 2013/14, while Alicia Leasak was named Princess. The next day’s Sam Steele Parade was also an opportunity to bid farewell to our retiring ambassadors Princess Taylor Miller (right photo, on left) and Sweetheart Brianna Kennedy (right).

SOUNDS OF THE SEASON

New concert series coming this summer TO W N S M A N S TA F F

A new live music series SummerSounds 2013, hosted by the Canadian Museum of Rail Travel, will bring in live music on Saturday afternoons from June 22 to Aug. 17. Music performances will feature local bands and run from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. each day. DJ Royal Alex will spin the dance mixes from 3 to 5 p.m. “Originally we were thinking of hosting a couple of bands, but the community support was so overwhelming we found we could provide a series of events over the

whole summer,” says Jim Conley, museum director and series organizer. “The donations of time and funds from both non-profit and business sponsors have been just fantastic.” Conley, along with talent co-ordinator Brian Noer worked closely with the Cranbrook Farmer’s Market and the Downtown Business Association to co-ordinate events and create an ‘all-ages festival experience’ in downtown Cranbrook.

Sea can plan in the can Cranbrook City Council adopts shipping container bylaw A R N E P E T RYS H E N Townsman Staff

The zoning amendment bylaw that deals with shipping containers was adopted last Monday in council. The amendment allows the city to regulate the use of shipping containers within commercial, industrial and public utility zones in the city boundary. There were no comments on the issue during public input. Coun. Diana J. Scott said staff did a good job of meeting with concerned stakeholders to come to an agreement.

“I really think that it paid off, I think that everybody’s needs were met and everybody went away happy,” Scott said. “I think the evidence of that is that no one was here to speak against it.” There were businesses concerned with aspects of the amendment bylaw and how it would affect their businesses, but after meeting with city staff, their concerns seem to have been taken care of. The zoning bylaw differentiates between shipping containers used for shipping goods and those used for storage purposes.

Containers used for storage would be permitted the C-2 Highway Commercial Zone, the M-1, M-2 and M-3 Industrial Zones, and the P-3 - Public Utility Zone and sited In accordance with the applicable property line setbacks of the zone for an accessory building or structure. The bylaw limits a maximum of six shipping containers, or one shipping container per 400 metres/squared of site area for the first hectare of site area; whichever is less; and one shipping container per 1,000 metres/ squared of site area after that.
