With quality work and great prices, our technicians will make sure your gear is healthy and ready for those warm spring laps.
Quick waxes, hot waxes and edge sharpening available. Pay our rental shop a visit and book your skis and snowboards in for a spa day!

RDKB Solid Waste Management Plan



The Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) is moving into the next phase of its Solid Waste Management Plan update — and residents are invited to take part.

Originally approved in 2005, the plan is being refreshed to reflect today’s realities, new technologies, and the region’s growing commitment to waste reduction and environmental responsibility.

 

With the Public & Technical Advisory Committee (PTAC) now formed — bringing together representatives from across the region — the project is shifting into a broader community engagement phase. The RDKB is inviting residents to complete an online survey and share their thoughts on current waste services and future priorities.

 

To support accessibility, all surveys will be available online and in paper format. Residents who are not online are encouraged to call the RDKB to request copies or provide their contact information for future engagement opportunities.

 

“This plan will guide how we manage waste for the next ten years,” says Grace McGregor, Chair of the RDKB Board. “Community input is essential. We want to understand what’s working well and where residents see opportunities for improvement so the final plan reflects the needs of people across our region.”

 

The updated plan will examine ways to: Extend landfill lifespan, increase waste diversion, improve recycling and organics programs, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and plan responsibly for future generations.

 

Terry Martin, Chair of the Solid Waste Management Plan Steering and Monitoring Committee, says broad participation is key.

 

“Waste management affects everyone. The more voices we hear from — rural and urban residents, businesses, and community members — the stronger and more practical our plan will be.”

 

Janine Dougall, General Manager of Environmental Services, emphasizes that this stage is about listening.

 

“This is a chance for residents to directly influence how waste services evolve in the RDKB. The survey will help us align future investments and programs with community priorities.”

 

The plan update will continue through summer 2027, supported by technical experts, engagement activities, and oversight from the PTAC and elected officials.

 

Residents are encouraged to complete the survey by Sunday, April 5 and follow the project online at:

Survey participants will be entered into a draw to win one of two $50 Everything Gift Cards.

Okanogan County Heads Up

I follow a FB group from Washington State for wildfire information.

Last night the site admin was lamenting her muddy property, and a storm tracking from the south, heading NE. I looked at the radar screen shot, and went to sleep with more than a little optimism. Some of our "biggest dumps" come from the south.
