International students from Selkirk Secondary School and McKim Middle School got together with their host families and school district staff to celebrate another great year at the Rocky Mountain International Student Program’s annual Homestay Farewell barbecue on Friday, June 19. The school district would like to thank the 30 plus local families who opened their homes to international students from around the world again this year. Your support and participation in the program ensures an enhanced educational experience for all children attending Kimberley and area schools. The international student program is still seeking homestays for the 2014/15 school year. To learn more about this amazing opportunity, contact Homestay Coordinator Lisa Singbeil at 250-427-6168 or lisa.singbeil@sd6.bc.ca. To view more program photos, visit www.facebook.com/rmisp.

The Kimberley RCMP is gearing up the very busy, but fun, Julyfest weekend. Traditionally even though Julyfest sees a large influx of people in town for the weekend police say participants for the most part are well behaved and are out for the fun. The Kimberley Detachment brings in extra officers in for the weekend to maintain a strong visual presence and deal with issues before they get out of control. In addition Southeast District Traffic Services will be conducting road checks and roving patrols throughout the weekend. General Duty officers will be doing foot and bike patrols in and around the venue. The biggest issue police face is persons consuming alcohol on public property outside of the designated areas. Police ask you restrict your drinking to the established liquor serving areas and businesses or private property. Those consuming alcohol in public are subject to a $230 fine. Police also ask that persons obey the noise bylaws. People tend to congregate at homes after the events turn up the music and become somewhat louder than they normally would be. Remember and respect your neighbors who may have to be up and playing at 8 a.m.

C Can construction coming to Kimberley C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor
Kimberley approved the go ahead of a development permit for a coffee shop in Marysville that will be utilizing a different type of construction. The proposed coffee
shop will be constructed of C Cans. Coun. Albert Hoglund said that on first hearing, he was pretty skeptical that you could make an attractive building out of steel storage containers, but after further conversation with the City’s planning department staff, he allowed that
they do look nice. “We would be going above and beyond what we’ve allowed in the past,” he said. “What if someone wants to put one in the Platzl? On first look, I couldn’t see it but Troy (Pollock, Manager of Planning Services) says there are stipulations
we can put on it about appearance.” “C Cans are a much more popular trend for building now,” Pollock said. “In this case, four separate containers will form one shop. They will be significantly modified with windows throughout and a
roof top patio. It’s certainly not a traditional building for Kimberley. “But it’s ahead of the curve. You might see more. Because of the modifications proposed we think it’s not going to be obvious to an untrained eye that it is a C Can. See C CAN, page 3
