He also lived with them in two new settlements as they re-built their communities in their own country. Project “A” is a grassroots, cross-Canada network of com- munity groups formed in response to the refugees’ request that there be an international “spotlight” on their return so as to prevent the still violent Guatemalan military from repeating the devastation of the early 80s. McKechnie is a member of the West Kootenay Central America Support Groups and a local car- penter/renovator. He was able to contribute four months of his time to the Guatemalan people thanks to the great generosity of church and community groups as well as individuals from Trail to Argenta and Castlegar to Grand Forks and Creston. His trip followed that of Valerie Hutt who was in the south this past summer, and has been j able to give update on the progress of communitics in which she lived Although there will likely not be another West Kootenay resident going south in the near ; future with Project “A”, the Central America Support Group will continue to monitor the situation and follow the “With existing facilities, Kootenay School of the Arts can only offer a first-year credit pro- gram,” said Nelson-Creston MLA Corky Evans. “By developing the old Nelson sub-station.
