The social and environmental effects of increasing truck traffic through communities in the Slocan Valley, particularly along Highways 6 and 23, were raised during the Celgar Expansion Review Panel's public hearing process conducted in 1$90 for the proposed expansion and modernization of the Celgar Pulp Mill. This study is in response to the public processs and the Panel's subsequent recommendation related to examining wood chip transportation alternatives (public and private roads, barge and rail). The Open Houses will provide you with an opportunity to learn about the study, identify current issues and talk with representatives of the Steering Committee and study resource people. Please join us for some light refreshments and informal discussion. We would like to hear your views and ideas.

The club cleaned up at the Masters euwiiniie Chanmonaniee i from last year when we went to the (B.C.) Senior Games. I did do that and a little more,” she said. And all this from a team, in only its second year in existence, participating in its first Masters championship. .. Van Yzerloo said she hopes the Cocoons can be an inspiration to other seniors. “We do work hard at it. We practise (at the Castlegar Aquatic Centre) once a week, but we do go swimming during noon hour when the other seniors swim and they seem to like what we're doing.” And 77-year-old Woolls, who holds several Masters records, serves as the Cocoons’ inspiration. “He just loves it, he just thrives on it,” Van Yzerloo said. Van Yzerloo said some credit for the club’s success has to be given to Castlegar coaches Norma Kinicki and Denise Evans, who are lifeguards at the Aquatic Centre. S Talk to us today.
