to the Invermere Deer Protection Society. With the money you’ve raised, rent horse trailers, then relocate them in the wilderness where they may have their young. You only have a short window of opportunity so do it ASAP.

to all the volunteers in the community. Whether you coach a sports team, help at the library, or give your spare time in some other way, all of you are what make this valley so special.
