City deer poll done
Residents feelings about our urban ungulates to be revealed May 12 ARNE PETRYSHEN Townsman Staff
Though the results of the Urban Deer Resident Survey won’t be available until the May 12 council meeting, there were a good number of respondents for the City of Cranbrook survey which intends to gauge public opinion on urban deer control. The grand total for survey responses submitted was 1628, both online and in paper form at city hall. Of those, 1,470 were online responses and 158 were hard copies, which required identification and a Cranbrook address to obtain. At the April 7 council meeting, Mayor Wayne Stetski also noted that the City was taking precautions to avoid duplicate submissions and surveys submitted by non-residents online. “There were several enquiries around, ‘How do we make sure that there aren’t multiple applications done, particularly over the computer?’” Stetski explained. “How do we make sure there aren’t people outside of Cranbrook that are filling out the survey and sending it in?”

Regional district supports Key City Theatre replacement
Theatre society, School District 5 appealed to the Regional District of East Kootenay for financial support SALLY MACDONALD Townsman Staff
Key City Theatre Society and School District 5 have appealed to the Regional District of East Kootenay for support in replacing the Cranbrook theatre. Key City Theatre is attached to Mount Baker Sec-
ondary School, which is slated for replacement once provincial funding becomes available. Since it was built in 1991, the Key City Theatre has been operated by the non-profit Key City Theatre Society. Operational funding is provided each year by the City of Cran-
brook and School District 5. Now, the School District and Key City Theatre Society is asking the Regional District of East Kootenay to consider the theatre a regional asset, and support its efforts to secure funding for the replacement. “The Key City Theatre is
an integral part of our entire region,” said Frank Lento, chair of the School District 5 board of trustees, to the regional board on Friday, April 4. “What we’re here for is to extend the partnership to include the regional district. What we would seek is ap-
proval in principle from the regional district to explore all avenues of replacing Key City Theatre, benefitting the entire region, and that the RDEK provide some preliminary support in our exploration of those avenues.”
