Political road trip
Trudeau to visit Cranbrook Guess who’s coming to dinner? More like a late lunch, actually. Justin Trudeau, leader of the Liberal Party of Canada, will be in Cranbrook Sunday afternoon, July 21. According to Trudeau’s website, justin.ca, Trudeau will be holding a meet-and-greet at Rotary Park in downtown Cranbrook. “Join Justin for a conversation about the country we are building together through hope and hard work,” the website reads.. “Come join us for a meet and greet in Rotary Park with Justin Trudeau. Bring your family, friends, and neighbours to meet Justin.” The event will take place at Rotary Park in Cranbrook on Sunday, July 21 at 1 p.m.

Kimberley RCMP has called in extra members from other detachments to boost their numbers for JulyFest, and they will be a visible presence at the bocce pits this weekend. “We will have extra people again,” said Sgt. Laurie Jalbert of the Kimberley Detachment. “We scaled back a tiny bit. We have had up to 21 members, this year there will 18.” Those 18 officers will mainly be on foot in and around the bocce pits, with East Kootenay Traffic Services taking care of road infractions. “There may be check stops depending on what they see,” Jalbert said.

JulyFest
JulyFest soccer ready to roll 60 teams registered; 80 games Saturday, 45 Sunday C AROLYN GR ANT editor@dailybulletin.ca
A very big part of JulyFest is the annual soccer tournament, still the biggest one in Western
Canada. And as usual, it’s shaping up to be a good one, says organizer Simon Davidson. There are 60 teams signed up, with 80 games scheduled for Saturday and 45 for Sunday. Games will take place at Central Field in Marysville, Chapman Camp, Blarchmont,
Marysville Elementary and Selkirk fields, with Purcell Park seeing the most action. As always, teams are coming in from all over, Davidson says. “We have women’s, men’s and masters’ teams coming from Alberta, B.C., Montana, Idaho and Washington,” he said. Among the favourites are the
Green Monarchs from Whitefish and the Montana Rapids. It has been since 1997 that a local team won the JulyFest tournament, but Davidson says there are a couple of teams from Cranbrook looking to do some damage this year.
