All Saints welcomes new priest C AROLYN GR ANT editor@dailybulletin.ca
The congregation of All Saints Anglican Church is pleased to welcome the Reverend Kim Staus to Kimberley. Rev. Staus has accepted a parttime ministry at All Saints, and hopes to be in Rev. Kim Staus Kimberley at least three Sundays each month. In his 22 years of Ministry Rev. Staus has served in Chetwynd, Dawson Creek, Burnaby and North Vancouver. He and his wife recently moved to the Okanagan, what the Reverend calls a “strategic pre-retirement move”. His wife works in Oliver and they are building a home there, but Staus was looking for a Ministry in the area. “I contacted the bishop about opportunities and one was Kimberley,” he said.

It hardly seems enough to say three cheers for volunteers in this case, as the Kimberley Health Care Auxiliary honoured four volunteers for giving 50 years each. That’s 200 years of volunteering. Area Rep, Dianne Kienitz ( left in picture) was on hand along with Jacquie Perrault (far right in picture) President of Kimberley Health Care Auxiliary to honour special guests Pat Oakland, Pam Waite, Leonna Neidig and Pat Oslund ( not present) for 50 years each of volunteerism with the Kimberley Health Care Auxiliary. Congratulations and a huge thank you from the Auxiliary to each of these super volunteers.
Ski resorts to continue BC Family Day promo Resorts to offer 50 per cent off lift tickets on Feb. 10, 2014 C AROLYN GR ANT editor@dailybulletin.ca
When the province of British Columbia introduced the B.C. Family Day holiday in February last year, the ski industry, led by the Canada West Ski Areas Association, lobbied hard to make sure it did not fall on the same

day as the Alberta Family Day weekend. Alberta Family Day falls on the third Monday in February and was already a big weekend for B.C. ski hills, especially those in this area close to the B.C. Alberta border. The ski industry successfully argued that it would be a benefit to the tourism industry to have the B.C. Family day a week prior, allowing ski hills to capture long weekend skiers two weeks in a row. As an added incentive, the Canada West Ski Areas Association managed to get all the big ski resorts in the
province to offer major lift ticket discounts on B.C. Family Day. The resorts offered 50 per cent off last year, and it proved so successful that the offer is being made again this year for BC Family Day 2014 on February 10, 2014. “B.C. ski resorts offer an outstanding variety of winter recreation experiences,” said CWSAA President and CEO David Lynn. “We are very pleased to be able to celebrate the second B.C. Family Day by providing B.C. families with the opportunity to ski or board
at a B.C. ski resort at half the regular price. We hope that British Columbians take advantage of this fun and healthy way to enjoy BC Family Day.” Participating resorts in this area include the Kimberley Alpine Resort, Fernie Alpine Resort, Panorama, Fairmont Hot Springs Resort and Kicking Horse. The promotion incudes the following guidelines. See FAMILY DAY, page 3
