Every fall and spring, the Company offers an eight-week series of weekly class sessions, workshops with guest artists, and performance opportunities The year’s work culminates in an original production presented at Nelson's Capitol Theatre in the late spring. This year's show will be on Saturday, May 29.

Volunteer house-building goes to the birds

Wildlife Association earmarks $10,000 for feathery friends

KAREN KERKHOFF Sun staff .

Encroaching population and environmental changes have left some Bluebirds looking for. new homes, and the Castlegar and District Wildlife Association is helping the birds in their quest

With the help of a $1,200 grant from Environment Canada, the Wildlife Association will build 300 Bluebird houses which

are to be placed in points from |

the Canadian/U.S. border to north of Deer Park.

Stu Cull, a Wildlife Associa- tion member, has had Bluebird houses in his yard since 1984 When Cull first put out the 10 houses, he said five out of the ten houses had chicks in’ them, and

last year the houses had 46 chicks, Now Cull, Wildlife mem bers and interested public have gathered to build 100 birdhouses in a Bluebird bee

Cull said the Wildlife Associa tion has money-—earmarked specifically for the houses We've budgeted to build 300 birdhouses at a total.cost of $10,000. That would include the cost of putting them out and monitoring them. We're also hoping to’ band them.”

Currently there are Bluebird houses at the Castlegar Airport and Champion Creek Flats

I'm still impressed with the turnout though. it means some thing when 45 residents show up for an evening to discuss future capital projects and funding After all, we would have had no one show up,” Messer said.

Next to road resurfacing and maintenance, residents gave a high pnority to move quicker on the Twin Rivers Park project, as well as plans to renovate Castle gar City Hall. Priority was also given to have better safety con: trols at the 24th Street intersec tion, which is located next to Kinnaird Hall

There were some residents who attended the second meeting despite missing the first, such as a small group of seniors, who voiced loud complaints about feeling snubbed by the city, since progress towards a new senior’s facility has been at a virtual standstill for more than six months.

The seniors group is saying that’ new seniors centre should be included as a priority in Castle- gar’s upcoming capital projects, as soon as possible. The group expressed their displeasure and unhappiness with the condition of the current seniors centre, which has been plagued with a nurhber of ailments due to its age and state of disrepair.

A final report by consultants, which will contain a wrap on information obtained throughout the two planning. meetings, will be received by city coyncil dur- ing a special council meeting
