Community Minded, and not over committed?
Regional District of Kootenay Boundary
We’re Updating the Region’s Solid Waste Management Plan — and We Want YOU at the Table!
And we’re building a brand-new Public & Technical Advisory Committee (PTAC) to help shape it.
We’re looking for volunteers from all corners of the RDKB: residents, recyclers, businesses, First Nations, community groups, and anyone passionate about reducing waste and protecting our environment.
Just five meetings over two years → big impact, small time commitment
Your voice will help us extend landfill life, improve services, and move toward zero waste
Apply by January 9RDKB Board Chair Grace McGregor says it best:
“This is our chance to build a waste plan that truly reflects who we are and where we’re going. We need local voices at the table.”
Stay informed, follow the project, and apply to volunteer at our Join the Conversation page:
Let’s rethink waste — together. 
Once an organics campaign star, now a composting superstar.Just like this peel, our Waste Plan is getting a major refresh
More open terrain for Saturday
More terrain opening Saturday, Dec 6We've been getting absolutely hammered with snow these last couple of days and thanks to the hard work of our grooming and patrol crews, we'll be opening up Cascade and Tennings on the Sugarlump chair. The gladed runs, Smith's Slide and Borderline will open as well but ski these at your own risk as early season conditions still exist. Especially in the trees. Our magic carpet accessing our lower terrain park and the beginner slope will also open for the season!
Enjoy 25% off your lift ticket if you bring in a non perishable food item for the Oliver Food Bank until Monday Dec 8th.

Thursday Update
My reliable source says the skiing is getting better every day. This morning there were freshies on top of the grooming.
I'm still catching up after 5 days away, so probably won't be on the hill tomorrow. I removed the feature photo as it was dated, and too dark when I came home to take a fresh one.
It is snowing, and lots more forecast in the coming days.
I did notice tonight that the PB Park is back and backed in down by the shop. (That groomer was shipped out preseason for an overhaul)
BMR Facebook has a post advertising ski tuning , repair and waxing in the rental shop.
It changes daily but...........
Today Gen 7 at the bottom of the hill was 124.9
Canco in Osoyoos was 139.9
Are you a long time Osoyoos Credit Union member like me?
Since the Osoyoos Credit Union became one of the Cascadia Credit Unions, I have been unable to get anyone on the phone, until today.
This morning I got a call, and when I returned the call, it sounded like the person answering was in outer space? Centralized reception? She was able to connect me to a helpful local person - I don't know her, but her last name was a long time Osoyoos name, and she was very helpful in the manner to which I have become accustomed in the 30 years I have been a member there.
They now have a "work around" that has the phone system at least working............

Opening weekend road trip...................
Yes, I missed opening weekend, and my long distance weather reports were a bit of a challenge. I am home now, and it is snowing heavily. Actual measurements starting tomorrow morning.
It is a long way from Baldy to Campbell River , but well worth the many hours of travel to spend time with another branch of my Norwegian family, and celebrate a 100th Birthday.
Of course on my way back to the ferry yesterday, I stopped in Courtenay, and had a great visit with Baldy family.
