Cranbrook, Kimberley talking integrated business licenses Trevor Crawley
Cranbrook and Kimberley are partnering up to issue inter-community business licenses (ICBL) that will allow local businesses to be com-
pliant and operate in both cities. Cranbrook brought up the issue on Monday’s regular council meeting, while Kimberley is planning to mirror a
similar bylaw at an upcoming council meeting. The move is aimed towards trades, contractors and other mobile businesses that operate outside of a
home community, according to Cranbrook mayor Lee Pratt. “The big reason for it, is there’s a lot of businesses that do business in Kimberley,”
said Pratt, “and they don’t have a business licence and they feel like they’re sneaking around and not compliant and vice versa with the Kimberley guys coming to Cran-
brook. “So we just felt the two communities working together that it’d be much simpler if we had that in place where if you have a business license in Kimberley and you’re doing business in Cranbrook, you can apply for an inter-community [license] at a reduced rate.

A boil water notice remained in effect through Tuesday for a localized area of Cranbrook, after Public Works water crews discovered a leaking sanitary sewer main Sunday evening. Residents living on Anderson Crescent and 21st Avenue South, between 2nd Street South and 2nd Street North including the apartment buildings adjacent to Victoria Avenue and 2nd Street North are the only people affected by the boil water notice. Those residents were told they must continue to boil their water for at least one minute or use an alternate, safe source of water until further notice. The boil water notice was to remain in effect until lifted by Interior Health.

Seniors Advocate warns on dangers of stereotyping Tre vor Cr awl ey
Saturday, Oct. 1, marked the International Day of the Older Person as ratified by the United Nations. To recognize the date, a local organization gathered
a range of business and volunteer services geared towards seniors and held a trade show at the Heritage Inn. The day featured workshops and speeches from
elected officials, with the keynote address coming from Isobel Mackenzie, the B.C. Seniors Advocate. Mackenzie’s speech touched on stereotyping and discrimination against
seniors, while emphasizing that seniors aren’t just a single population block with all the exact same wants and needs. For example, a senior who is 65 years old will have
