Arts in the valley

In March, we were supposed to launch our gallery season with our Submitted by Sami 15th annual Art from the Heart Wackerle , CV Arts show, ironically executive director titled Art from the Heart Goes Wild. Little did we know then that the whole world was about to go wild, and that Art from the Heart 2020 would not fully make it onto our walls. Instead, we’ve had the unexpected but not unwelcome opportunity to debut this year’s collection of artwork created by over 700 valley elementary students as the first ever digital gallery on our website.

Art from the Heart online has since been joined by a second gallery, as we’ve been hard at work on Zoom with some of our local toddlers over the last few weeks to create pieces for our annual Lil Peeps art show. While we miss the brightness and joy

of seeing all the art created in our local daycares hanging on our gallery walls at Pynelogs, we’ve been delighted to be part of the creative process as we help our young artists create gallery additions at home. This year’s Lil Peeps show certainly looks and feels a lot different than we’re used to seeing, but the love and pride we feel admiring it hasn’t changed one bit!

Going digital also means that we can extend the show length for both our Art from the Heart and Lil Peeps shows. They’ll both remain on our website throughout May so you can sit back in the comfort of your couch, computer chair, or patio swing and let all the beautiful creations from our young artists bring light into your day.

Next up on our digital gallery schedule is our Reach High School Art Show which will be launching at the start of June. All our digital galleries can be viewed at www. columbiavalleyarts.com Stay safe and stay creative!

To:

who is currently nursing at Kootenay Lake Hospital in Nelson, BC “Thanks for all you are doing to take care of all of us, Birdie. You are the best!”

COLUMBIA LAKE MANAGEMENT PLAN

Hannah Bilodeau

WE’RE INVITING YOU TO PARTICIPATE IN AN ONLINE PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT PROCESS which will help create an updated Columbia Lake Management Plan.

The Columbia Lake Management Strategy adopted in 1997 is being updated. The new Columbia Lake Management Plan will help guide local government decisions related to Columbia Lake and is anticipated to be adopted by both the RDEK and Village of Canal Flats.

Plans for an in person engagement opportunity this spring have been cancelled, but by using online public engagement tools, we hope to deliver a workshop experience similar to what you would have experienced in person.

The first step in the planning process is to identify values and concerns associated with Columbia Lake. You will be able to participate in the online public engagement using the link below between May 11 and June 1.
