As a region, we are profoundly grateful for the tireless efforts of the BC Wildfire Service, from their front-line personnel to the contractors, pilots, heavy equipment operators and support staff.

It was good to read your paper reported on the proposed overpass for the bighorn sheep as well as the bat condos. It is important that this good news gets out to the public, especially with all the problems facing wildlife and their habitats.

It has been decided that an overpass will be built over Hwy 93 where it cuts through the dry hillsides south of Radium Hot Springs that are winter habitat for bighorn sheep. Too many bighorns are being killed by traffic, on this we all agree.

I write to you today to say why I think it is important that Grade 2 and 3 students should be able to keep going on outside field trips like skiing, skating and swimming.

I am the parent of three young children (ages 3, 5 and 7) and am grateful to live in a place with exceptional outdoor activities. Unfortunately, I have learned over the past year that School District No. 6 is pushing policies into place that severely limit the ability for students to take part in field trips.

I invite you to drive along important roads within r)ural Invermere and you will notice small signs reading “slow” . . . they are all over the place.

No hate or judging, but recognize and celebrate all, not just some. That’s what causes division.

My wife and I are new to the valley. Sort of. We really like it. My wife doesn’t like to bake. I like to eat baking. Random? Hold tight.

As residents of Fort Point, next to the current tennis courts at the Pynelogs Rotary Ball Park, we object to having a pickleball court in our neighbourhood.
